Wanted to post this in the technical how to but could'nt.
When assembling the rear brakes shoes, discovered the easy way to get the retaining plates on the anti rattle springs. Compress the springs first with a couple of small cable ties then when you have the retainers on cut the ties and pull them out. Sure saves a lot of fiddling.
