Re: drum brake tool ?
Front Brake shoe springs? Vise-Grips...(not over-gripped) to the spring shank. Then use the Vise-GripÃ‚Â® handles as a pull lever.
Jiffy stand spring? You don't need a puller. It goes together as a non-tensioned assembly. Maybe I can find a pic. One pic of the a certain assembly stage would explain it. If you positioned the spring attached to the plate and then use an aligning pin through the holes you can get the (4) bolts started. You can probably figure it out on your own. Just install the spring to the plate holes first, then assemble. First re-position the top key hole lug piece where the lug is pointed to the right. Then once it's assembled, the remove the lug and reposition it where the hunter tang is pointed to the keeper hole in the jiffy bracket.
Yes, I made it worse. Play with it awhile. Just remember that it all bolts together without having to stretch the spring, sort of Rubic's Cube, and you'll get there.
I use no tool for the front brake shoe springs.
Merely hold one shoe in each hand with the springs hanging in place, and then "clam-shell" the shoes simultaneously upon the top pivot first, while spreading the shoes to pinch upon the cam at the bottom.
As your palms push the shoes wide as if opening a book, the tension will snap them into place when flat.
The springs must be then pried to their notches close to the backing plate to avoid rubbing the drum.
install the spring. then swing the stand down, put on the top 'key' and tighten the nut.
You can raise the stand putting the key in the slot to torque the nut.
No scratched chrome, no pinched fingers.
