Need help doing brake job
Hi my sister owns a 2003 volvo s40 and im changing her brake pads right now. i hit little snag and its freakin annoying. how do i get that damn spring back on the bracket that is connected to the brake line? it shot off by itself when i took off the rear driver side caliper. i dont know how to really explain it. the spring has 4 coils, 2 ends that stick out, 1 end long then the other and they both have hooks on the ends of them. if anyone has any idea please tell me how to get this damn thing on. is there a trick or a to bend the spring so it hooks in again? i know how it needs to get on but its not going on. HELP ME!

It is just a pain in the butt to get on there.I had the same thing happen before.It took me like 30 min to get it back on.If worse comes to worse try to collapse it and put a wire tie around it or something like that then try to slide in then cut the wire tie.
