[Shotimes] E-Brake Springs

[Christian Kesselring]

I think you mean the tension spring is NOT on the rear calipers, as pointed
out to me by Mark M.  Apparently the spring on the caliper, the PITA return
spring, is what I am looking for.  BTW, if anyone else has had a spring
launch the retaining post into orbit when loosening it (i.e. someone as
stupid as me), it isn't too hard to fudge a new post with common hardware
store fasteners.  Thanks for the input on cleaning the cable, David.
