Why do bike brakes not spring back into place after being squeezed?
Bike brakes do not spring back into place after being squeezed because they rely on a cable system to pull the brake pads towards the wheel. When the brake lever is released, the tension in the cable keeps the brake pads in contact with the wheel until the tension is released manually.

How do emergency brakes work with a school bus air brakes?
They have a spring brake system. When the vehicle air up, air is metred to the spring brake chambers. When it reaches 60 psi, sufficient pressure is pushed against the spring to release the spring brakes and allow the vehicle to roll. When this air is removed - either by pulling the tractor protection valve or by a failure of the air system - the springs push back down on the spring brakes and lock into place.
Instructional blogs on Swiss army knives how do you replace the scissor spring?
I wiggled the stub of what was left of the spring until it came out on my Victorinox Handyman. There are different sizes of springs for the different sized knives...the Handyman's a 91mm knife, so it's important to get the correct one. I then lined the spring with the hole with it slightly within it & then pressed the spring to align it with the slot. When this was accomplished I squeezed it into place with a pair of pliers. I found it a piece of cake to do & my eyesight's not what it was.
How do you remove the rear brake cylinder on 1986 celebrity for replacement?
To replace a rear wheel cylinder in a Chevy Celebrity: 1. Put chocks in place so the car can't move. 2. Loosen the lug nuts. 3. Jack the car up a suitable distance and place on jack stands. 4. Finish taking the lug nuts off and remove the tire. 5. Pull the brake drum off. If the emergency brake is on you will need to release it to take the brake drum off. 6. On the back side of the drum remove the brake line with a flare nut wrench. 7. Remove the cylinder retaining ring. I usually pry it off with a pair of screwdrivers. 8. Remove the return springs. 9. Remove the hold down spring retainer then the spring from both shoes. Make careful note of the emergency brake strut and spring so you will know how they go back. 10. If you are only replacing the cylinder and not the brake shoes, then carefully move the shoes aside, but not enough that they fall out. The cylinder can now be maneuvered out. Watch how it works, it goes back about the same way. 11. Put the new cylinder in place then put the retainer ring back on the back. 12. Connect the brake line. 13. Put the shoes back in place making sure the parking brake strut and spring go in place correctly. 14. Put the hold down springs and their retainers back in place. 15, Put the return springs back on. If you took the actuator link off of the parking brake lever put it back in place. 16. At this point verify everything you took off is back in its proper place. 17. If everything is properly back in place put the brake drum on and bleed the brake. Unless the brake pedal feels spongy when you are done bleeding the one cylinder you probably will not need to bleed the entire system 18. When you are satisfied with the that the brake is properly bled put the tire back on and snug the lug nuts. 19. Lower the car and finish tightening the lug nuts. 20. Remove the chocks.

Pull wheel pull brake drum pull old brake gear including e brake cable out of tensioner spring The main problem: Pull all tension out of the e brake cable (colorado & sonomas are known for sticky ebrakes) before attempting re-assembly use a (Dirt bike exhaust spring tool) to grab the lead positive stop bushing after you have fished it through the spring as far as you can get it through the rest of the ebrake spring.

PS: needle nose pliers and patience help too, as you cuss your way throgh this idiotic manufacturing set up.
When driving there is grinding noise but when i put mu put my foot on the brakes it stops?
You (most likely) threw a pad, as in the brake 'pad' has separated from the metal plate it sits on that keeps it in it's proper place inside the brake caliper. When your foot's not on the brake pedal there's minimal pressure applied by the caliper by the brake system and that small, constant 'push' from the system is enough to cause the pad so scrape, vibrate and make that lovely grounding noise. When you depress the brake pedal the remainder of the brake pad that's there is being squeezed with immense pressure and essentially unable to produce a noice that sounds like metal lightly grounding. You might need a new rotor on that corner now, I wouldn't be surprised it the rotor's surface resembles the Grand Canyon.
