Re: [FWDLK] Brake return springs

["Bill K." <pontiac@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Would those be the springs that hook around the post at the top center of
the backing plate?  (I'm going from a GM here, I'd need to check the book to
see if the MoPar is similar).

I get them on by hooking a screwdriver under the hook on the spring and
using it like a pry bar, pulling the hook past where it has to go - as long
as you pivot close to or at the same point as the post, when you pull past
it the spring slides down the screwdriver and usually I can get it right on
where it belongs in a couple tries, it just pops into place.
