so, while trying to put the brake cable back on the caliper, my spring went flying into next tuesday! That thing is so tight now though, that I can't get it back on... any tips?

i have the same problem, i have been rocking just one e-brake hooked up for like 6 months now. i would like to know if there was a trick, because there is seriously no way to just pull the cable on, and i dont want to have to pull my ebrake and go into some nasty spin.

edit: i just realized that i dont know if you are talking about putting the actual spring back on the caliper, or hooking both of the cables back on to there calipers?

well, I'm talking about the spring here technically, I really need some help getting that thing on... but I can't seem to get the cable on either. I'll let you know if I figure out anything, but in the mean time, I need ANY advice to get that blasted spring back on the caliper! (it's getting annoying now....)

ttt... Still can't get the spring on there! I've tried calling the local body shops, they can't give me any useful advice... and they say it's tough for them too... someone here has to have done this before... anyone?
