All that advice from a guy that said that. Pumping gas doesn't change much from a BMW to a GM.

DUDE, thats my point if you havn't worked on Drum brakes you don't know my pain. Drum Brakes are no joke, there are 4 springs in there that are so hard to get on you have no idea.

There are tools made just for that job but I usually use needle nose vise grips.
