Help -parking brake re-attachment
I just change a rear caliper on my 93 coupe. Everything went fine until I had to attach the parking brake cable. What is the order to attach the cable? I got the cable reattached to the arm by removing the spring, but for the life of me, I cannot get the spring back on the caliper. HELP!

good job and +1 for returning to share the solution!
I figured it out. I took a large flathead screwdriver and hooked the spring over it and then placed the tip over the end of the arm. Then I stretched the spring as I tilted the screwdriver forward. I used a socket driver wrench to bang the spring to the bottom of the screwdriver. It popped off the screw driver and onto the arm.
