[Amc-list] Hold down spring yanker thing - huh?

[Bruce Griffis <bruce.griffis@xxxxxxxxx>]

Okay, I read the brake section in the TSM. Went to the library and picked up Chilton's "Brakes, Steering and Suspension" book and read the section on drum brakes. Tossed in Popular Mechanics "Saturday Mechanic" as well. All fine and good reading - BUT - how do I grab hold of the loop on the end of the hold down spring, pull it through the corresponding hole in the drum, and hook it on to the retaining clip?

Needle nose pliers don't fit. I'm thinking maybe something that looks like a screwdriver, but has a small hook on the end. Is that the ticket?

Someone's coming over to help out - but I want to make sure I have parts, pieces and tools on hand (and I want to try it myself first). What's the scoop?
