Dear listers.....

 

Trying to get the car back on its wheels and have run into a couple of
problems I can't figure out.  Thanks for the info on using a couple long
bolts to compress the springs.  Looks like that will solve that problem.  

 

On the rear axle I am having two difficulties. 

1.)  Am installing new wheel cylinders.  Is there some magic in installing
the circlip which holds the wheel cylinder in place?  Tired of skinning my
knuckles and tearing up the paint.  Also tired of throwing things across the
garage in frustration.

 

2.)  I've tried everything I know to get the new brake shoes and springs
installed. Everything except a pound of C-4 that is....  What's the secret?

 

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
