Default 412 rear brake

Hello,
I've recently had major problem with rear wheel falling off when driving.
This damaged handbrake parts on rear calliper, apart from the wheel etc.. .
I've got the calliper off, + arm bits to repair. Now I'm having problem working out how to get old pins out to put new bits on.
Has anyone got good ideas as to how to get this done?
there's a pin with 3/16th bolt hole. I'm not sure what type thread. Does this pull out?

Any help appreciated

Sorry I can't help but the wheel incident sounds alarming. Any idea why it came off?

I managed to get handbrake parts reassembled and caliper is now back on car.
Driving car now I'm very cautious of any bump or rumbling noise. I've tightened all wheel nuts max. torque.
