You can't. You either have to make something, try to transplant them from another spring, or replace the spring.

If you know the diameters/dimensions, a suitable replacement shouldn't be hard to locate in another year/make/model.
The OP is talking about the rubber cushions on the transverse leaf spring, not brake pads.

OP....As mentioned, they're not sold separately. You have to buy the entire spring.
