how to hook up parking brake spring? help please


Recommended Posts

So I was replacing a rear wheel bearing, and when I pulled the rotor, the parking break shoe and spring fell out.

 

I ordered a new and shoe and parts kit, but I am having trouble understanding how to hook the spring up.

 

This thread has two useful photos

It's clear that one end of the spring does the rear hole at about 5 o'clock

 

I assume that the other end connects to the bracket at 6 o'clock but I'm not sure

And if so, the front or rear of it.

 

The only advice my manual gives is "installation is reverse from removal" which doesn't help me at all.

 

Thanks!
