Steve

It is much easier to put the springs on the shoes and stretch the whole set up
over the hub and in position.
The top spring is offset, it has a squared off hump, this hump goes up to
clear the hub.
The larger funky looking spring tab is just that. A funky looking hook.
Just make sure the offset is up so it clears the hub/axle.
