Jd 2555 hand brake replacement

[4020millj]

I am trying to get the brake band out. I have the book and it says "turn brake band and unhook spring" I have it all unhooked otherwise and can move the band all the way forward. How do you unhook the spring I have got a sm pair of vice grips and tried pulling it off upwards. Or am I supposed somehow reach under and unhook it?

hello,, did you loosen the bottom support screw to allow the band to rotate out,, the screw has a screwdriver head with a jam nut on it.. it is on the bottom of the trans. case and it supports the band.

Yes I had the screw out and late last night I finally got band to come around then I got the spring off. I don't know if I did it like it was supposed to because the straight part of the spring bent. Thanks
