Ok, looking in the shop manual for a '55 series 2, it seems those circlips I mention must be the clips that fall out.

Maybe I need to use a BFH to knock them in... shocked

Edit: BINGO!

Not a big, but a kinda small brass hammer:



And I got it all apart. Only need to remove brakes and parts to clean up and/or replace. Pads and drums look ok.
