I have some shortened handbrake caliper springs for the MK. Sierra disks. Been out in the garage for the last hour, I can easily remove the old springs, but how the feck do you put the new ones back on?

Bit of a struggle but you will manage. Even I managed it and im a numpty! Just the reverse of removal really.

Any tricks of the trade here to help....I cannot get ennough purchase on the new spring to fit it back ito position.

Digging up an old post here but could be useful – I stumbled across this post with a google search and maybe someone else will do the same


Im about to do this on my Fiat Bravo,

Im planning on (carefully) compressing the spring with a G clamp – then holding it with mole grips whilst the g – clamp is taken off – then cable tying the spring shut to make easier to manoeuvre it into position then cutting the tie

Please wear impact safety specs for this – I've already had a spring shoot out of the g clamp when I wasn’t being all that careful and its made a nice hole in the side of my finger – would hate to think what it would do to unprotected eyes
