"It is strongly recommended that a Toledo 310256 - Brake Spring Compressor, or something similar be obtained to facilitate removal & replacement of these retainers. The tool is quite cheap ($18 approx), & be advised that trying to do the job with just pliers is very difficult & frustrating. If you have a swear jar & do NOT have this tool, at 50c a swear word you will go a long way to paying for the tool by the time you have finished the job!"

Thanks Lionel. That was precisely the information I needed. Aulro membership pays for itself once again!
