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

Bruce, a medium sized vice-grip locking pliers will work. Lock the jaws on the spring near the loop at a slight angle so you can pull back and slip the spring in the hole or over the pin/ whichever it is.

>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?
