I am with Coopman with the exception you can roll it out on the brake drums if you lift it so the spring just clears the cross member .Also the oil seal in the brake drum should stop your oil leaks plus the oil catcher ring on the backing plate. When using a spring spreader you first remove the shackles on one end only while its under tension ,its safer .Remove the spring spreader then the last shackle .Ted
