Installing emergency brake return springs

[wrndln]

There is a picture of one in the link below. It isn't a great picture, but you can see the part that goes over the lever to tell left from right. This spring is a bear to install. I ended up taking the emergency brake shaft loose to get the spring over the lever. I even made a hook tool, but still couldn't get over the lever until I disconnected the shaft pin to allow the lever to move back a little. Once I did that, I could with my hook tool, get it around the lever.

I was just putting mine back on after having to sand down the new brake linings. This time the spring gave out before me. Nothing like paying more for shipping than a stupid spring. I will wait till something else needs to be ordered....always something with this project.
