Spring that goes around the brake drum

[baker53]

Any suggestions on how to re-install the spring that goes around the brake drum. I took them off to get the drums cleaned up and painted and now can't get them back on.

Are they that stiffly put around. The ones I know from other models came on and off rather easily set in a groove.
On the other Hand they're only put on to supposedly tone down Vibrations while braking. I remember them being put on by the Shops if customers complained (again on other cars) being non factory.

Lock it together, get it on one side (12 O'clock), use a couple of pry bars or long screwdrivers (at opposing sides like 5 and 8 on a clock) to work it over the other side.

An extra set of hands would be very helpfull

Tried that... I will have to get another set of hands to help. Thanks.

Well it only took three guys and four big screwdrivers to reinstall the springs around the drums.....
