Hi all, I'm doing my first brake pad replacement on the rear brakes of my '87 240 wagon. Its all going well, except I've run into one problem that I can't get past. I got the new pads in fine and I got the retaining pins started with the spring clip in place, I just can't figure out how to get the leverage to give those pins the last little push that they need. The rear springs prevent me from giving the pins a good solid whack with a hammer to finish the job. How do you all do it?? there must be some technique I've not been clever enough to figure out.
Thanks,
Colin
