The brake shoe retainer comprises a retainer (30) having a substantially flat portion (34) which is attached by rivets (32) to the plate (20) of the inner brake shoe (22). The substantially flat portion (34) extends into a plurality of resilient legs (36), each resilient leg (36) having an angled base portion (38) extending from the substantially flat portion (34) to a leg portion (40) disposed substantially orthogonally relative to a plane of the substantially flat portion (34). Each resilient leg (36) includes an end portion (42) extending from the leg portion (40), the end portion (42) angled inwardly toward the substantially flat portion (34). Each leg portion (40) includes a lanced dimple (44) which extends outwardly away from the substantially flat portion (34), the lanced dimple (44) capable of biting into the surface (14) of an opening (12) within a piston (10) so that the plate (20) and brake shoe (22) are coupled to the piston (10) for movement therewith.
