Almost have the drum brakes done but have a question.

Guys, I appreciate this. Had the garage stereo up louder today so no one could hear me swearing at this :) It is no fun trying to put in the shoe retainers by hand. Gave up and bought the tool.

OK. I think I got it. A pic is worth a thousand words for me.

I take the hook on the adjuster leaver and slip it behind the overload spring to hold it down like it is in panel 7, 8 and 10.

I then take the extra spring I have (lever spring) slip it around the bottom of the adjuster lever thereby holding it into place and connecting the other end of the spring in the same hole and the automatic adjuster spring.

That makes sense.
