Rear brake doesn't brake??

once you back them out and siwng them back over, you must contract the piston back.
the pads should hit the rotor slightly, then back the piston back out again about 1/8 a turn.
the adjustment screw in the back will fall out, put it back and and try again.

if you can afford drilled slotted rotors you can afford new calipers...i would not put a caliper on my car that "fell out" that just smells like disaster, shop around they should be cheap and make sure you take yours in for most place charge a core, this way you'll get the lower price to begin with
edit:missunderstood what fell out, i though the piston fell out, my bad
