How do i stretch the pro brake spring so my blade will fit

You dont need to bend the spring. Just file down your brake.

First check if your break fits in with your rear wheel on. If it doesn't, then file down your brake. When the brake fits in with the wheel but the spring doesn't, then put the same spring on the deck with a pro-model brake and no rear wheel. Then push the pro brake down so much that it goes past the dropouts. That way you can bend your spring. Don't stretch it too much though.

Btw, when using a pro spring with a blade break, you might have to cut a little piece off the spring in order to fit a 110mm wheel in the back.

hit the bottomw of your deck with a hammer to bend it up a bit then out it on and you can also fit 110mm wheels aswell doing my way
