I was sandblasting my front break drums yesterday and I went to roll the anti-vibration springs so I could blast under them and POW...right in the kisser! Now I can't get it back on. I was telling my buddy about it and he wondered if they were needed at all anymore.

Do I need to put the anti-vibration spring back on the outside of the drum? And, if so, how the hell do I get it back on? I tried to roll it back on, not happening. Is there a tool or something?

Thanks,

Wayne

Wayne: Don't feel bad. I did exactly the same thing, only on my left rear drum. This video should give you the needed hints to get it back on.

Thanks, the video really helped. I figured that would be about the only way to get it back on but seeing him do it helped a lot.

Thanks again,

Wayne

On the front drums on my Letter the anti-vibration springs on the front drums are installed, but not at the rear drums... source? Make your own?
