I only wish someone had mentioned the "Brake Spring Plier" tool!!
Those hold down springs are IMPOSSIBLE!!
Someone's going to bring me the tool, but so much for doing the job fast!
"There's FAST, CHEAP and RIGHT, and you can only have two-
If you want it fast and cheap, it wont be right
If you want it fast and right, it wont be cheap
and if you want it cheap and right, it wont be fast"
(Just for the record, one of those hold down springs had snapped, and caused my brake shoe to get skewed. "SCReeeeechhh!!" and that's why I'm doing the job.)
