Very Very common problem...

Traders trick:

a.) A high quality pivot bolt will have what looks like a slot. You may not have the offset tool for it. They come as 10-11 or 12-13. If you are lucky and it's a 13? You can go ahead and use a cone wrench between the breakspring and th efork.

b.) this is the most common way. Take a punch and place it onto the spring towards the top. if looking righ at it. say the pad drags on the right. Place the punch on the left side of the spring near the top. Just give it a tap till it is centerd.

c.) Also Weinmann invented a two prong tool you sneak into the loops. But I would use b.) For I did for 35yrs!!!
