Default Rear Brake Drag - parking brake spring

So had an interesting issue, smell from the rear passenger side brakes, I know these vans hate their brakes but found a nice busted parking brake spring - and I'm talking brittle, broke with any additional pressure, total POS, and funny thing had both ends even after breaking the spring. So long story short took off the wheel, inspected and here is a photos - cheap repair - Chrysler Part #68039257-AA

Part 12 on the link diagram
