Re: Emergency Brake Retracting Spring
Are you talking about the springs on the back of the backing plate that goes on before each arm?

Re: Emergency Brake Retracting Spring
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.
