front drum brake retraction spring
« on: December 27, 2016, 08:57:28 PM »
Hi guys, does anyone know where you can buy the long spring that connects the shoes on 1970 10 x 2.5 front drum brakes? Ford calls it a retraction assist spring and it is not in any spring kit that I can find. Is it possible you don't need it? Mine are a light blue in color but one is broken, and I've looked and looked any help?

NAPA doesn't show a complete hardware kit for the front but do have the return springs. Try NAPA # UP82485. The springs are yellow so they may or may not be correct. Compare to yours.
