And that one spring creates a fold in the space-time continuum and disappears forever into an alternate universe even though you HEARD the 'tink" of it hitting the far side of the garage…
This is why I HATE drum brakes…
I might be wrong but that looks like amber we needed the red. 
My 60 year old brake spring pliers are too large for todays teeny drum brakes so I just use needle nose vise grips.

I can’t understand how he/she was able to stop this vehicle over the past ?? months or years.
… and if you try to charge me more than $50 for a Michelin tire, then you’re ripping me off.


I have acutely seen that on my wife’s car, How it got in that position I will never know.
It just started doing it.
“Ever since you put my tires on”
if you think about it, Visine eye drops are TECHNICALLY blinker fluid

Last drum brake job I broke my spring tool. Got a little cut out on the end so it doesn’t slip as you slide the spring on down. I saved the parts thinking maybe weld it together again but then thought it’s a lot easier to just never work on drum brakes and never buy a car with them anymore.
