Long story short, I drove my car to California and the shitty ass roads they have there seem to have shaken loose bolts that hold the parking brake assembly to the axle. When I was leaving LA I heard what sounded like a metal grinding sound, but with no tools I couldn't really do anything about it. I got back to Arizona and this is what I found:

The last two pictures were taken after I removed all the bolts. Basically there was only one bolt that was still reasonably tight, one with the nut almost all the way off, one just sitting in the hole and the last was being tossed around in the parking brake assembly.
So basically I'm asking how I go about replacing these? I have my 10 bolt that I blew up last fall in the garage so I plan on just swapping those parts over. Do I need to remove the axles? If so how do I do it? Is there any special tricks to make things easier?
Needless to say that shit is gonna be locktited to all from now on...
