08 Parking Brake Question
While changing rotors, one of the rear parking brake pad rings slipped off the keeper spring.
A simple looking operation, but I'm having trouble getting the spring keeper inside of the parking brake ring.
How do you get the spring into the brake ring?
Thanks

I made a hook from a coat hanger that allows me to pull on one end of the spring while sliding the brake shoe into place. Hard to describe but it worked better than trying to use a screw driver to press on the spring.
