Are you talking about the springs on the back of the backing plate that goes on before each arm?

The spring on the back or the rear backing plate that's on the emergency brake actuating arm. I have tried to do this in connection with doing a complete brake rebuilding job.

It's a booger to put on. I've seen some special hooks ect, and read of some tips, but don't know from where.

I just put a string around it and pull. Very easy.
