Default Re: Emergency brake lever springs How do you install?

This has been beaten to death. Here are the only tools needed. The screwdriver has a U shape ground into the tip and the hook tool can be purchased at Harbor Freight for a couple bucks. It is much easier to install original springs rather than old ones but the process is the same. Use the screwdriver to push the spring up behind the arm and then reach around with the hook tool, grab the spring and pull it the rest of the way around. With practice it takes about 30 seconds.
