I was working on drum brakes on my old VW. I put the shoes in place and was using a pair of vice grips to stretch the spring to both shoes. The vice grips came off and popped me in the head at my eyebrow - then my face got really warm - 12 stiches to close the gash. After that I put the springs on first and pushed on the lower shoeto pop it in place.
