Had this a couple of days ago on a 9k mitsi. We got the springs from helmar and they were about a quarter inch taller than the oem ones, they would never fit.
Our brake tools were also too small for the retainer so I just used a socket of suitable size and an extension and was able to get them on.
Hope this helps.
