I can't figure out how to reattach the spring. I am hesitant to start taking the other (untouched) brake apart to research and was wondering if anyone can describe - or even better has a picture of how the spring goes on the arm. 1997 Contour Steve Semper ubi sub ubi 2004 Ford Ranger 1997 Ford Contour 1988 Honda VT800 Shadow 1980 MG MGB

Just pull the drum from the other side and compare the two sides. Keep in mind that the sides will be exact mirror images as you view them.
