[TR] TR4A rear brake cylinder instal

[Dave]

I've found that it is easier to install the inner and outer plates
first and then slide the middle one in between.

Hello list,

I don't remember putting rear brake cylinders on a TR3 many years ago
being
this difficult.  I get the spring plate and it's retainer on w/o
difficulty.
The small one, called an abutment plate, is another story.  Due to the
turned
up ends it is riding above the remaining groove on the cylinder and, in
my
case, wants to gouge the cylinder sides.  Also, it looks like once it
is in
there, it will be a mighty tight fit.  Not sure the cylinder will slide
correctly during breaking.  Out of ideas!  Of course, I could be doing
something drastically wrong.
