Wow nice trick , I think the hardest was the top spring from shoe to shoe there is barely any room , it probably didn't help it was the last thing I was doing after working on the car 5 hrs on the floor on jack stands ... I need a lift or first a garage that one can fit .

ebrake springs
tool for top ebrake spring
The dental floss trick works well. there is also a tool that helps install the top spring. Ecklers and other vendors have it for about 10 bucks.
