Post Re : Brake Spring Pliers

Here ya go : http://search.yahoo.com/search?ei=ut...20pliers&type=

One picture shows how to use them.

Sears , Kragen , Shuck's , Pep Boys and your local Pawn Shop all have them , no need to buy the $nap - On ones .

There's another tool to remove the hold down springs easily , it looks like a screwdriver but with a round tip to hold the hold down spring as you twist it 90 degrees .

I'm sure you know to never , EVER take apart both sides at the same time ! therin lies madness .

Work carefully & safeley , support the truck on jack stands or an old stump , NO CINDER BLOCKS ! slide the rmoved wheel up under the chassis as a secondary safety support just in case .
