Review on Carlson Quality Brake H7002 Hardware by Dan Venegas

Some kits I've gotten locally have hard springs that keep the shoes from moving once installed and it's almost impossible to get them with two hands to install. One Chinese - Autozone, Oriellys, another Indian - Napa, Advance Auto, AC Delco and Raybestos. Crock of shit. I don't know what Carlson is, but it looks the same. Chinese pins break when you try to install them, I can't imagine holding on to them with that much force. Wagner makes a simple pin and clip assembly, and Centric makes a coil spring/quarter turn washer that appears to be the original Ford type but is only available online. The two Ford dealers couldn't find anything on their computers - they basically told me they couldn't know if they were coming with the shoes until they ordered them. I don't understand.
