Sounds like the master cylinder is leaking from one resevoir into the other, or the proportioning valve or brake warning switch is leaking by.

I would start with changing the master.

I'm not following what was needed.

If you need a diagram of the springs, the repair manuals have surprisingly good pictures.

I have found that a magnetic parts dish is great for shoe swaps. I remove the springs and place them in the dish in the exact orientation and relative placement as they were on the car (because the dish is magnetic, the springs stick and dont move). Then I can match up the new springs and reinstall them with little fuss.

Good luck.
