Default Why isnt there a video on replacing jk park brake shoes

No where to be found ? Jeep really has a crappy set up for these with the two springs one behind the shoe , & one spring in front of shoe .
The front spring isnt a issue

But there dose not appear to be a way to get the
* (rear) spring hook into the hole after shoes are in place.

has any one seen of know of easy ways to get the rear spring on? Really surprised no demonstrations or videos on REPLACEMENT of the shoes from 07 to 15
The shoes rot out quick in salt zones, at least factory ones do.
the the pad surface separates from the shoe itself and become junk

im talking about the springs on right side of this photo the rear one you cant see

The OP has a great point I've looked to, I got nothing. Thinking a service manual would shed some light....
