Brake reassembley

[J.D.Long]

When I went to reassemble the front brakes the other day, I had a whole bunch of little pins, plates, and tension wires. I did the bad thing of taking the set up apart a few months ago, and not making notes of where it all went. So I dug around in my spare parts tubs and found a few complete calipers with the pads still in place. But, one unit had a long spring on only one of the pins that hold the pads in place. It is positioned between the to pads. Did I miss something when I put my rebuilt unit back together? I had kept all the parts in a sealed container, and have not see this on any of the other five that I have.
Also, on the rear brake lines, only one side has a bleeder valve that connects to both rear brakes. I think that that is a bit strange, but seems to be how the car is set up. Anyone see a problem with splitting them up so each side can be bled separate?
Thanks,
Jason

Jason,
There's an exploded diagram of the front brakes (from the coupe
factory service manual) on my Honda 600 website - you'll find it on
this page

Hopefully that may help get parts out of the coffee cans. I'm not
qualified to answer the rear bleeder question, altho that is the way
Honda built them.

Thanks for the info, I didn't see the spring that I was talking about in the diagram. That is a good thing I guess!
