Default Re: Installing emergency brake return springs

I have the same problem as Richard had, with the pointed end popping out. What is the pointed end supposed to hook to? One Barner said it should lodge in the crevice between the radius rod and backing plate. Mine pops out when I try to hook it over the Em brake lever.
Attached is a picture of the spring. Is the end too short?
Thanks,
Larry

one end wraps around the lever and the other rests on the brake actuating rod housing

Thanks. That's the picture I was looking for. The spring appears to be correct, just needed to know where it hooked to. Back at it tomorrow with suggestions on how to from Barners!
