The tab with the hole in it for the spring on the backing plate is at the 3 or 9 o'clock position depending what side you are on. There is a tool for the steady spring that looks like a screwdriver with a cup on the end of the shaft. The rim of that cup has a tab on it that catches the steady spring allowing you to turn it into position after it is compressed. Just push it in with the "hook" at the 12 o'clock position and turn 90 degrees to catch the hole in the tab on the backing plate. Sounds complicated, but once you have done one it gets easier. Any parts store should have brake tools.<br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1537641727776_29475" dir="ltr"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1537641727776_29314">Mike MacLean</span></div> <div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="Arial"> On Saturday, September 22, 2018 7:06 AM, Lester via Spridgets <spridgets@autox.team.net> wrote:<br></font></div> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container"><div dir="ltr">Good Morning all,<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">so I noticed that a rear tire was low.

This caused me to remove the shoes but first, I had to remove that damned spring. When last I installed these, I stumbled on the fact that there is the easy way to install them and a hard way. The hard way takes 30 minutes and a lot of cursing an prying while the easy way takes seconds. does anyone remember my easy way? I sure don’t. I vaguely recall that if you just push the spring in oriented the correct way it snaps on to the fitting on the backing plate. But of course I don’t remember what that orientation is although it “looks like” the hook in the spring should be pointed outwards.<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">What say you all?<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">TIA,Lester<br></div><div dir="ltr">------------------------<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><a ymailto="mailto:spridgets@autox.team.net" href="mailto:spridgets@autox.team.net">spridgets@autox.team.net</a><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Donate: <a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br></div><div dir="ltr">Suggested annual donation: $12.75<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Archive: <a href="http://www.team.net/pipermail/spridgets" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/pipermail/spridgets</a><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Unsubscribe/Manage: <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/spridgets/rrengineer.mike@att.net" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/spridgets/rrengineer.mike@att.net</a><br></div><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></div><div id="DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><br>
