    Just the other day I noticed a puddle of brake fluid under the left rear wheel, not too long after that "spongy pedal" feeling. I finally pulled it apart and the wheel cylinder boot was leaking. Now I can't remember how the whole shoe/spring/parking brake bracket assembly goes together. I took a picture but when I uploaded it, it was blurry. Does anybody have an assembly diagram or set of pictures for a 70 Lark or equivalent? Also, isn't there a special tool I can use to put the springs back on without poking an eyeball out? Please help...I haven't worked on drum brakes in over 15 years.

    Thanks!
