This would seem to fall into the "if it ain't broke" category. Seems to me, though, that without that retracting spring the e-brake might hang up a little. Although on further thought, if the e-brake handle is pushed fully forward that should disengage the brake fully. Shouldn't it? Others have any ideas?
Actually, I've never had that much trouble installing that retracting spring. It's detaching the brake rods, removing the toggle lever and assembly and all that in a place that's not all that accessible--at my age, anyway--that I'd rather avoid if I can. But if I can't, I'll just bite the bullet and do it the long way.
