Great video keep them coming . Just wanted to give a little tip you can try next time ..that I use when doing F250 drum brake. Try running a small but strong enough piece of wire or cable thro the retainer clip hole. So that the retainer clip and wire fits. In there together. Loop the wire around the spring and run it back thro . Grab the two pieces of wire with with pliers and pull it around it'll pull the spring back and you can push the retainers clip over it once it catches you can release the wire and pull the wire back out so much easier.. I do this with every retainer clip and spring it only takes seconds versus trying to push and pull and all that crap.
Kids... As a teen in the 80s we had to know both, especially working in a real service station, learning from legit mechanics. Even after decades of not doing it on my 92 F250, they came apart in minutes, washed in minutes and new drums shoes and hardware was minutes. This is of course after hours of playing parts games with the youth of the Auto Parts Store. 😂
FYI - My 1994 F250 rear passenger brake line was a 3/16 and 1/4 at the wheel. I got a 1/4,1/4 and found the need for 3/16, well S***T. Dorman 785-434d 1/4 x 3/16 brake line adapter from O'Reilly's and $7 saved me.
My bad the camera angle was bad. Once you get the little paw in its guide the spring hooks on to the upper hole, it does not have as much tension as the other springs so I was able to hook it on by hand sometimes with a screw driver.

Thank you Sir. Worked perfect! Please post more videos. Blessings for you.
Thank you, I will keep trying.
How did you put the new self adjuster cable on?

Where the heck does that horseshoe shaped piece of metal go that comes in the spring kit?
On this particular brake job you don't need it. But on other designs it holds the parking brake lever to one shoe.
Great question
