I replaced my leaky left rear wheel cylinder today. While I was at it I replaced the shoes on both sides. and for the life of me I can’t get this bracket for a little cable to stay on. ( left side) It pressed in tight on the old shoe. But on this one it flops out if I breath. Any ideas?

Chewing gum may do the trick...

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 because my microwave couldn't do it

One end of the return spring holds it in

Put the spring in this morning, snapped it all back together in a few minutes. works like a charm now.
Thanks again.
