Trying to reinstall the sear and spring/spacer. These parts are not going back in place!
Can't figure out how to get the legs of the spring closer together to get them to fit back in the confined space. I've tried using a slave pin from the left side. Just can't get the spring leveraged into place in order to slide the pin in. (I've seen photos of other springs with much longer legs.)
Is the spacer even necessary?
Anyone have any tips?
