RUDDY1 Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Hello everyone, I was wondering where I could get the spring you see in the picture? This spring is used on the rear wheel brake of a 1955 Buick Special. I am looking for the part marked with an "O" in the picture from the manual. I hope someone can help.

EmTee Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Springs like those were used on GM rear brakes well into the '70s (and likely later). You could also try going to your local NAPA to see what they have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
