Subject: Damn little brake shoe retainer springs!!
 
 
 
I am trying to install those little black springs that hold the shoes back
to the backing plate. I have managed to ruin two of them already, and I
realize there's something wrong.
 
I've been pushing a small phillips screwdriver into the spring and thus
stretching it toward the little clip, and trying to hook it up. This is when
many of the things get bent out of shape.
 
What's the trick?
 
I love how the kit comes with ZERO instruction, ZERO part identification.
 
 
thanks in advance!! My car is almost ready to drive to the alignment shop!
