Anyone have suggestions on how to best install the two shoe retracting springs? The anchor pin is pretty thin to grab onto with the brake pliers. Also the new springs are quite a bit thicker than originals and there is no room for the plate that goes over the anchor pin between the top of the shoes.
Any help??
