2006 Tacoma Brake Spring

Hi everyone,

I am installing new rear brake shoes and have a question about the top brake spring. I have attached a picture. I cannot seem to get the spring off the front shoe, even though videos make it look easy. I tried using diagonal pliers to pull the spring forward, but it wouldn’t come out of the hole. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Replacement brake springs for your 2006 Tacoma are available at many auto parts stores. It’s crucial to select the springs that match your vehicle’s specifications, which can vary based on factors like engine size and whether your Tacoma is a 4WD or 2WD model.
