It is helpful to have new springs and small parts. At best they are a royal pain. I don't know of any easy way, but I have ruined springs and lost small parts trying to put them back together. It is a job I avoid at all costs.

original vicegrips are a necessity. Chinee fake vicegrips are likely to not hold the springs while trying to put things together.

Wear mechanics gloves or better to save your fingers and knuckles.

I am in the process of re-doing the brakes on our '90 E300D.

The front brakes are done (new disks, new sliding pin seals, new Akebono
pads).

I have started the rear brakes. On one side I have taken everything apart
and am trying to put the parking brake assembly back together with new
shoes. It has been a difficult job!

Anyone have any suggestions on how to make it easier?

Thanks,


Craig
