Caterpillar shop manual says,"remove pins". I would like to know how. The pins have shoulders with washers and the fixture holds the top brake shoe in downward facing slots and the bottom brake pad pin goes in a upward facing slots.

If I’m understanding you correctly I believe you have to unscrew the adjustment nut completely off after that it should give you room to remove the pins. Someone else with more experience will chime in Clayton.
