Brake spring

[Thompsona3]

Hi I'm replacing a caliper on my m1028. Anyone know any tricks for getting the spring back in? I know it goes under the bracket but I'm havering trouble getting it to go on any advice would be helpful thanks.

And do I even need the spring bc when I took it apart there was none there

You do need that spring bar. It is a common part and can be purchased at a parts store.

Put the caliper back up in there at the top. And use a screwdriver or a pry bar to hold it up in place. Put some grease on the bar and spring bar and tap it into place. You do need that it will be loose without the spring tightening bar. Align the bottom bar with the allen bolt hole and adjust from there.
