    Posted: 26 Aug 2015 at 11:01am
My left steering brake had a wonderful bungee cord acting as a return spring. I think that Earl Scheib owned this thing before I did.

Those springs are fairly stout and I can't see a  way of getting enough leverage on a replacement spring to get it into place.

Aside from putting on a new bungee to replace the one that broke, is there a better fix? Or is there a trick to getting that spring on?

the easiest way I have found to attach a stout spring is to hook one loop of the spring in place the loop a length wire a couple feet long to other end and then you can pull the spring with quite a bit of leverage

I actually have a truck air brake return spring set of pliers, works great for these as mine on the 7G are similar.

I'll see if I can track down a set of those pliers.. If not I'll try the wire trick..
