Thanks to everyone for their replies so far...the spring is sitting on the
floor of my garage right now...next to some used motor oil and a random bag of
trash. I don't plan on getting rid of the spring, but figured I'd let it
sit there for a while to think about what its done. I tried a myriad of
different techniques to get it back on including the screwdrivers, rolling it
on, etc... to no avail. I was looking for a giant cone of some sort,
as if I had something like that, it would've been a snap to get the spring
on.
I'm fairly certain the next time my car moves will be to park it in front
of the garage to put disc brakes on the front. Maybe its my lack of "old
school," but I really never care to mess with drum brakes unless I absolutely
have to. The only thing on this car that ever really has caused me issues
would be the brake system, whether its not working properly or simply not
working at all...so hopefully the discs will help eliminate that problem.
Ironically, I believe I actually used a 7/16" socket to adjust the one cam
that WOULD move...but after a little playing around realized a metric socket
(can't remember the exact size, maybe 9mm or so) actually fit much better since
it was so worn down....so go figure.
Once again thanks for the comments...feel free to keep them
coming.
