I need to find the tool that lets you compress the spring. Having major trouble putting the spring back on after putting new wheel studs on that had been stripped. Had to remove the parking brake shoes to get at them, now I can't get the spring back on. YIKES. Can anyone help or know of another way to put springs on. Went to dealer for tool, said it was Special Order will take 3 weeks.

A general purpose drum brake tool used to to the job. Spring stretcher, funny lever, and round spring un-doo er.
Yikes, I just remembered throwing several away on my Spring cleaning project. Thinking I would never need them again. Out went the timing light and distributor wrench and dwell adjuster... those are certainly obsolete.

I actually got the spring hold down on after much work lol. Now I am having difficulty with a very stubborn rotor trying to get back on. I had trouble taking it off too. Any tricks or tips to getting this rotor on. I have it on 80 percent of the way but not enough of the stud bolt is out I think.
