BUMP should I take top or bottom spring off or does not matter?

When I did the rears I didn't remove the shoes... Should be able to get them in easy. And I put longer ones than standard in...

really? I cannot, I tried soo hard to do it but I had to take the shoe's off, i sorted it out now released the adjustment thing and then lubricated the whole spring and holes it went into and then with a few good yank's at it i managed to get the top one off and then just spread them enough and yeh pretty simple if your not stressed, my handy tip would be to not want to set your car a light while doing this that helped me lol

Wow...
There is a spot where you spin the hub around and it misses everything.
All I did was remove the rotor, used an old wheel nut and washer to do it up. Didn't adjust the brake shoe back or anything. But while it was off I adjusted the shoes anyway.

i spun that thing 100 time's trying to get a spot but it just would not go,I am not trying to call you a lier because maybe your car is different but yeh.. i tried a lot of different ways and nothing, even had a FORMER holden mechanic to try but needed the shoes to come off

Think I had it where the adjuster was. Mine was in an IRS sedan though.
