Default Re: Brake springs

Like Bruce says, leave the shoes off the wedge so they are close together. Attach the top spring, then the bottom one and only then, pull the shoes apart and slip them into place using a tool that hooks over the end of the shoe with two fingers - one each side of the central stiffening "ridge" and a handle that gives you leverage. The secret is in the tool which makes it EASY!
