Q: Fasten the emergency brake cable to the replacement brake shoe on the same side your removed it. Pull up the cover again and slide the cable into the proper slot on the shoe (it will look the same as the one you removed it from). . You will need to transfer the return spring (at the top of the shoe) and the small emergency brake spring (near the center of the shoe). If your vehicle has any other hardware on the brake shoe, transfer it to the new one as well. . You want to avoid squeaking and rubbing of the brake shoes. For this reason, you should grease any bare or rubbed spots on the backing plate. . There will be a hook at the end of the spring and a slot in the bottom of the brake shoe. Hook the spring into that slot. Now it is time to put the first brake shoe back into place. Once you get it lined up, hold it there until you can replace the retaining ring. Put the spring that goes with the retaining ring in place over the small rod that protrudes from behind the brake shoe. Place the ring over the spring and press in and twist until the ring slides over the rod and locks into place. Now it is time to begin installing the second brake shoe. Again, you are going to start with the bottom spring. You will need to line it up with the adjusting spring lever. Here you will use the flat end of your brake spring pliers to pry the spring into place and hook it at the top of the second brake shoe. This will connect the two brake shoes. Follow the same procedure as you did with the first retaining ring. Place the spring first, then push and twist the ring into place. This screw changes the position of the adjusting spring, which in turn changes the position of the brake shoes. Since the new shoes are thicker than the old ones, you will need to set the adjusting screw to account for that. Use one screwdriver to push the automatic adjuster assembly down and the other to twist the cog that loosens the adjuster.
A: Re-install the emergency brake cable. Remove any parts from the old brake shoes and transfer them to the new brake shoes. Grease the backing plate. Slide the bottom spring onto the new brake shoe. Slide the show into place against the backing plate. Replace the retaining ring for the first shoe. Slide the bottom spring onto the second brake shoe. Put the brake shoe into its proper place against the backing plate. Fasten the adjusting spring onto the second brake shoe. Replace the retaining ring for the second shoe. Use two screwdrivers to set the adjusting screw.

Q: Pour a small amount of liquid laundry detergent into a container of warm water and allow it to spread throughout the water. This will create a cleaning solution you can use to spot-treat the area directly. A little goes a long way: about one part detergent to five parts water is more than enough. Laundry detergents are effective at cutting through hard, dry and greasy stains like the one you're dealing with. Wet the hardened stain the solution to soften it. Let the laundry solution sit on the spot for two or three minutes. Reapply the solution if the stain doesn't look like it's softening. Using a scrubber brush or disposable dish sponge, scrub the area thoroughly to wipe out the stain. Keep the stain wet and sudsy by dipping the brush or sponge into the laundry solution as needed. Continue until the spot is completely gone. If you're cleaning a delicate garment, use gentle, sweeping circular motions to ease the spot out, or use the soft side of the sponge. If you use a sponge, throw it away after you're finished. Yuck! Put the piece of clothing you're cleaning through a regular wash cycle after you've scrubbed out the bird droppings. Wash on medium or high heat with like colors. When the garment comes out of the dryer, you'll never be able to tell that it happened!
A: Mix some gentle laundry detergent in warm water. Apply the solution to the spot. Scrub the stain away. Wash the garment.

Q: Tomatoes should always be washed under the faucet prior to dicing. Make sure to remove any dirt and debris. Peel off any stickers as well. A small spoon or a teaspoon can be used to remove the core of your tomato. Simply insert the tip of the spoon into the tomato's stem. Dig out the stem using the spoon and then discard it. Hold the tomato with one hand and slice through it using a sharp knife. Start at the bottom of the tomato and cut it in two roughly even halves along the equator. Place each half of the tomato on a cutting board with the flat part facing downward. Make a series of vertical cuts length-wise to make a series of thin strips. Strips should be no more than about a centimeter in length and should be roughly even in size. As you cut, use your fingers to hold the tomato in place. Turn the strips sideways. Make vertical cuts across the strips, cutting the tomato into small, diced cubes. Strive to keep the space between cuts roughly even and use your fingers to hold the strips in place as you cut. When you're done, you will have a pile of diced tomatoes.
A: Wash your tomatoes. Remove the core. Cut the tomato in half. Cut each half into slices. Cut across the strips to dice the tomato.

Q: " Think about why your parents may not want you to get a cat. Extra cost and responsibility may be concerns. If you can find solutions to problems, you can get a "Yes" answer. Parents may worry about a cat clawing at furniture or making messes. Your parents may also worry about cost. A new animal needs new toys, bedding, and so on. Your parents are likely very busy, so they may worry about caring for the animal. Pets need a lot of time and attention. One of them may be allergic to cats. Don't let this dissuade you, however; there are some hypoallergenic cats! Be proactive and think of some solutions for potential issues. This way, if your parents raise concerns, you can quickly address their worries. Write these down right next to or right under your concerns, answering them. For example: If your parents are worried about a cat harming furniture, suggest claw caps. They fit over a cat's claws, preventing it from scratching. Never declaw a cat. If your parents are worried about cost, offer to save up your allowance or get a job to pay for new supplies for your cat. If time is an issue, promise your parents you'll care for the cat yourself. Remind them that cats are independent animals and don't require as much attention as dogs. If one of your parents is allergic to cats, suggest hypoallergenic breeds, such as the Balinese, Bengal, Burmese, Cornish Rex, Siamese, Siberian, or Sphynx. The more you know, the more impressed your parents will be. Research a cat's basic needs in terms of food, attention, and grooming. If your parents see you can care for a cat, they're more likely to let you have one. Tell your parents you'll provide your cat with a clean bed and keep the litter box in your room or garage. Tell your parents you'll feed your cat healthy cat food, and even suggest a few brands you found while researching. Vet visits can get expensive. Offer to help pay for the visits, and mention that you are willing to find a job to help earn money. Your parents want to make sure your cat is loved. Tell your parents exactly when you plan to spend time playing with and caring for your cat. You can promise your parents you'll play with the cat every day after school for an hour after finishing your homework. Also, account for caring for the cat. Promise your parents you'll get up early in the mornings to do things like feed your cat and change its litter box. Rehearsing never hurts. Try jotting down a rough idea of what you want to say and practicing in front of a mirror. You don't have to have everything thought out word-per-word, but a rough idea can help. Don't worry to bring notes with you. In fact, these may help your parents see just how much research you put into getting a cat!
A:
Write down why your parents may say "No. Jot down ways to address concerns. Do some research on basic cat care. Find concrete ways you can make time for a pet. Rehearse what you'll say ahead of time.
