Brake spring pliers are almost mandatory for this....makes a hard job almost effortless.

Brake spring pliers. The proper tool for the job.

Put the front shoe on the backing plate with the holdown pin and spring
first. Now hook the two shoes together with the spring at the bottom. Now
you can spread them apart and stick the adjuster in. Get it lined up and
put the holdown on that shoe. Put the flat piece on the anchor on top and
put the self adjuster cable on. Now put the front pullback spring on then
the rear spring. 8)
