Hi All,
I hope you can help me. I'm having problems installing the two hold down springs for the rear shoes on my original style BE brakes. I know I should have installed them when I rebuilt the brakes when I had the backing plates off, but you know how the brain works at my age. I've tried needle nose pliers and skinny locking pliers, but I can not compress the spring enough to hook onto the backing plate loop. Any hints would be appreciated.
