Has anyone here done a brake job on a 1961 Mopar with front and rear drums? My buddy is working on a '61 New Yorker with the dual wheel cylinders. He cannot get the shoe return springs back in place... I found a link online showing that you need the factory Miller C-3462 tool. They call it a wrench. You cannot use the typical brake spring tool according to the service manual and they're so strong, he can't even get Vice Grips to work.

Any help is appreciated
