Terry:
Put the rubber boot on LAST, after all 3 metal pieces are in place.
The "distance piece" (middle of the 3) is larger that the bottom retaining
plate and stands off from the backing plate enough for the "rim" of the
rubber boot to slip underneith.
Randall was correct on the order of assembly. I normally slip the retaining
plate (bottom piece) on first, positioned with the opening forward and the
prongs pointing up away from the backing plate. This is nearly impossible to
do with the handbrake lever in place, so pop the handbrake arm into place
AFTER the retaining plate is loosely in position. Next comes the spring
plate, also with the prongs pointed "up" and facing forward like the
retaining plate. Drive the distance piece in betwen the first 2 from front
to rear (opening toward the handbrake lever and opposite direction from the
other 2). Then pop the rubber boot over the whole works.
