  • Howdy Folks,
    Here's a quickie review of the Harbor Freight Brake Spring Plier set that I wish I'd got sooner.
    I did the one side without these and lemme tell you, it was a total pain to get that spring off. Of all the tools I have, this wasn't one of them. And after fighting with it, decided to see if Harbor Freight had anything. And low and behold, they did and they worked great.
    Their cheap and come in handy if you have to do drum brakes.
    I hope you enjoy.

    I would rather go to the dentist and have all my teeth pulled WITHOUT anesthesia than to have to do drum brakes ever again!

      Lol I've done these at my school countless amount of times. With different mock ups. Just for the hell of it. Hands down bees knees shits easy Af with the right tools and proper knowledge.

    The "do-hickey" is for putting the spring back on. It has a groove that goes over the spring post to lock on to the post then you "lever" the spring on to the post. Honda arrangement may not work that way but many drum brake springs do.

    Damn Honda has front pads and rear drums. I can change pads in 20 mins... took me 4 hours for those 2 "HE-MAN" springs. Cruel bastards
