Brake Springs

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I'm in the process of putting new front brake cylinders on my 83 109. I have replaced many a shoe in my time, but for the life of me cannot figure out how to get the springs set. They are new.

Do I position the shoe, then set the spring (tuff because it's behind the hub and I don't have alot of room to use a screwdriver to pry them back in) or do I set the spring and then force the shoe into place. Should I start with the top in place or the bottom.

THis is the model with two cylinders per side...top and bottom.

Any and all help appreciated.
