OP bluebluejays Shade Tree Mechanic Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 85 Indiana	I am somewhat befuddled! How does the brake return spring attach to the brake pedal arm on a 1946 1/2 ton? My brake pedal shaft has NO eyelet to attach one end of the spring. Does the spring simply attach around the shaft or is there an eyelet clamp on the shaft? Also where does the other end of the spring attach to? Thanks for your help? Ken

It may be that the internal pressure throughout the system is sufficient to return the lever to a no pressure position. I never really thought about it before now. Anyway, I'll look in the repair manual and see what it says. Stand by. Charlie
