I'm coming in late. If I remember correctly ...

I Install the lower long spring first. But unlike Bulletproof's photo, I'm pretty sure I place it on the outside (like the upper small spring).

I then install the upper small spring and with a bit of effort spread the shoes apart to drop in the spreader bar. I think I use a screwdriver through the access hole, butted against a shoe, and turn the rotor to push the shoe apart enough to drop in the spreader bar.

Note: I have given up on occasion and taken an angle grinder to the spreader bar to shorten it (and deepen it's "V"'s), in order to allow it to drop in under less spreading of the shoes.
