Eaton HO52 rear E-brake spring???

[dwoods]

I'm trying to locate replacment springs for the rear brakes. The spring I'm looking for is the oval shaped small compression spring that is on the horizontal transfer bracket - located directly under the wheel cyclinder that triggers the oppisite shoe when the e-brake is engaged.
This spring is not part of the spring kit I purchased and I cannot find a source in obtaining...

Thanks in advance for any/all your help!

I belive the spring I'm looking for is called "parking brake lever return spring"?

Thanks

I got mine from Napa auto parts.
That spring is the same on other drum brake systems, so it's not hard to cross reference and get what you need.

Thanks - I'm finding out that it is called an anti-rattle parking brake spring.

I'm going to bring what is left of it... it is in peices and see if Napa can find one for me.


Have a great week.

Napa should have it. If they don't CarQuest will.

Thanks for your help... Napa did have them - part number #80744 "Parking Brake Strut Spring".

I should know better after all these years that it depends on who you talk to...
I initally called them after I discovered that the spring kit did not include these springs - I was told there was no listing for it - that I may have to fabricate something.

Yesterday same Napa/different person looked them right up in seconds and pulled them off the shelf!

I'm exspecting my SS brake line set & SS E-brake set to deliver soon from In-Line tubes... keeping my fingers crossed they are OK and the correct kits.

Thanks agian;

Glad to see that you were able to get the part you need with little to no hassle.
