Clear things up for me here ... I don't know where there are any rivets on your brake assemblies. Brake shoes are bonded now days. Do you mean the 5 bolts holding the backing plate to your axle flange? If the flange bolts had indeed sheared off, there would have been one hell of a noise any time your fiver was in motion. It also would have ripped your brake wires completely out of that brake assembly surely causing a controller fault. Like previously mentioned, each brake assembly can be had for @$75 each ... they're pretty much bolt on and connect 2 wires. If the tow is coming from your own pocket ... you may be farther ahead buying the parts and having them installed at the current service shop.
