I've been searching all over and cant seem to find any direction on this one.

Working on my first savage build, Mr. Briggs has set me up real nice with just about everything i could want (in stock too, it was amazing)

I've installed my barrel/lug/precisiion nut no problem. I've sanded the factory stock to accommodate my new bull barrel (temporarily til my XLR arrives), installed my new oversized bolt handle, and all in all its been a smooth build.

However, i have the 1½ trigger spring sitting here in its bag mocking me. I'm just not sure how to disassemble the trigger mechanism. My current theory is to back off the adjustable return spring as far as it will go, then slide off the retainer c-clip off of the pin in the center of the mechanism. Thinking the mechanism would rock far enough for me to swap out the return springs. Was hoping someone can confirm this is correct, or point me in the right direction. Any information on potential spring based projectile hazards is most appreciated.

Additionally if i do need to slide off that c-clip, whats the best practice for doing so? I've been entertaining the idea of grinding a notch the size of the pin into a flathead screwdriver.
