Brakes vary, but basically once the arm is off the pivot you can disassemble it and remove the spring from the back.
The challenge is getting replacement springs. If you can find he right one, buy a pair so they're a better match han a new and used one would be. Often the best source for parts like these is in a local shop or co-ops junk brake bin.
