Hi All

Is there an easy way to get drum brake return springs back on? (front 
drum brakes on a '65 1500) - Is there a reason there is so much tension 
on these springs? - I'm wondering if the return springs have been 
changed at some time, the ones in the manual are shown "hooked" at both 
ends, mine are hooked at one end only, the other end had a kind of 
dogleg that goes through the backing plate.

Any advice appreciated

Cheers
Rob
