I recently needed to put my spare tyre to use as my rear passenger side tyre had a side puncture and was leaking air despite the repair. Long story short, I managed to swap the tyre but also ended up breaking one of the studs by overtightening one of the wheel nuts. I then tried to replace it myself and managed to get as far as removing the rotor but didn’t know where to from there. When I was trying to remove the rotor, I somehow managed to undo the spring that holds down the parking brake shoe. I got the stud replaced by the local dealership but they want me to come back for replacing the spring and charge me $200 for it. I was looking at doing it myself and found the link I am including in this post which explains the process quite well but I have the following questions:
1. Can the spring be replaced by just taking the rotor off?
2. Do the parking shoe springs at the bottom or top need to come off for installing the hold down?
3. Where does the pin that holds the spring need to be inserted from? How?
Apologies if this has been covered in detail elsewhere but I could not find it and hence am posting this.
