The Ford Barn - Installing emergency brake return springs

I installed mine in just a few minutes. I took nothing loose. I took a small strong cord about 3' long, tied a loop in both ends. I have a small come along (harbor freight) and hook one end of the cord to the spring and run the cord over the housing right next to the backing plate. I then hook the other end of the cord to the hook of the come along. I hooked the other end of the come along to the forward bracket of the running board. used the come along to pull on the spring and the spring came right around to where its supposed to hook up. used a screw driver to help seat the spring. if the cord is pinched just cut it loose. it was very easy was to do. I hope this makes sense. Don
