Good Morning all,
so I noticed that a rear tire was low. A few weeks later I went to fill it
with air. It had come loose from the rim, and mud daubers (wasp here in the
South) had built a nest between the tire and rim.
Off comes the rim, this reveals a streak of brake fluid down the tire and a
puddle on the driveway. This caused me to remove the shoes but first, I had to
remove that damned spring. When last I installed these, I stumbled on the fact
that there is the easy way to install them and a hard way. The hard way takes
30 minutes and a lot of cursing an prying while the easy way takes seconds.
does anyone remember my easy way? I sure donâ??t. I vaguely recall that if
you just push the spring in oriented the correct way it snaps on to the fitting
on the backing plate. But of course I donâ??t remember what that orientation
is although it â??looks likeâ?? the hook in the spring should be pointed
outwards.
What say you all?
TIA,Lester
