Install the rear shoe to the trapped hold down pin. Use needle nose pliers to hold pin into place.
Install the spring and retainer with another pair of needle nose pliers. This is where patience comes into
play. There really isn’t any trick to do this ... Just time and patience. After you have installed the rear shoe
retainer, go to the front shoe retainer. Swing the front shoe partly back out so that the front hold down
spring and washer can be squeezed between the shoe and axle flange from the outside. Slide the spring
and washer over the center hole of the shoe. Guide the front hold down pin into the shoe hole and through
the spring and slot in the retainer washer from the rear of the backing plate. Use a second pair of needle
nose pliers from outside of the axle flange to push down on the retainer washer, turn the retainer 1/4 turn
and secure it to the pin. Now swing the shoe back into place.
