protip..

took me awhile to figure this out. but the springs on the mustang calipers for the parking brake are stiff as hell! very hard to get them in. i ended up putting them in my jaw horse, closing it and winding back the spring (eye protection is recommended...). i then wired the spring to itself to keep it in that same position, put it in and cut the wires off. not sure how else that can be explained. made it easy to hook it all up.
