so the brake shop finally beat the disk of the rear wheels of my ram
to change the disk. now the pads have fallen off their position as
the back piece they are attached too was bent in the process. does
the axel have to be removed in order to put the pins back in place to
put these shoes back on, if he can straighten out the back plate
enough? Seems like a stupid design if that is the case?

Using a puller instead of a BFH would probably have been the best
solution! Sorry, I can't answer your first question. As to the stupid
design question: yes, there are a bunch of stupid design issues with
these trucks.
