I was replacing the rear brake pads on my car and removed the round emergency brake tension spring on the caliper to give myself more access. I know now that I could have left it on but that is hind sight. My problem is now I have no idea how to get that thing back on. No way in hell can I compress it with my hand!!! Please help...Thanks

Can you get a vise grip clamped on the spring to give you enough extra leverage to get it would around again?
