Word of advice for anyone watching. Just remove the bolts for the caliper bracket and slide the caliper and bracket all off in one piece

This is different for a 2013 tl awd. For sure. There are less parts.

Why didn’t you just tighten up on the ebrake cable. Those drums are still good. Maybe a little cleaning but that’s all. Spray with brake cleaner. And spray inside rotor.

New parking brakes are 2.5mm thick, with Acura saying 1.0mm is service limit. I didn't see a good enough shot of the entirety of both shoes to gauge their thickness, especially as they were dirty. A set of PowerStop shoes are $21 from Amazon, and the hardware is $12, so no large investment. In the valve cover replacement video he states this is his daily driver of 16 years so it's worth it.
