Your technique, please...

[Great Lakes Greg]

Today I put the two parking brake return springs on the levers at the backing plates. It took two minutes each, a hook tool, sticking my tongue out, and lots of grunting. It all worked out, but I am always amazed that I don't stab myself with the tool. how do you guys do it? Just wondering.

I take a peace of string, rap it around the spring and pull it back over the lever.

I use one of these: (and like Greg said, lots of grunting!)

I stick my tongue out to. People rib me about it, but I find it helps.

Take a roll of pennies Stick them in the coils of the spring until the spring is long enough to hook on Step on brake pennies fall out. Do not be leave me? Try it.

Smart thinking when the proper tools are not available.
We all need to add a "Roll of Pennies" to our Spares parts/tools we carry in our A's!

Might be hard to do. Some of us are on a budget.

Pennies are no longer available in Canada, and I cannot afford dimes.
