Gotta practice more. Lol. Put a tiny notch in a very small flat head screw driver. Can usually get em in in 1-2 tries every time.

Per my post I did already.

Someone should make them.  Practice us indeed KEY, and this makes reassembly of the 75 series look easy.

I tried the forked screwdriver thing... well, fork that!

I've had MUCH better luck with a small curved hemostat...

That spring was the hardest part of the ProGrade upgrade IMO... which is crazy ;-)

The other tool I've tried with good success is a tiny Phillips head screwdriver, using the groove between the Phillips blades as a guide for the tiny spring end.

You might try a large sewing needle, using the needle eye as the tool end and inserting the spring end in the needle eye then using the needle to guide the spring in behind the peg. 

I haven't had to think about it in a long time!  I need to go take mine apart some time.

This is exactly what I did.  Once you get the hang of it, it only takes a couple of tries.

I also thought it would be handy if they remade the spring with a little kick out on the end that goes under the decocker shaft tab.  That would keep your tool from constantly sliding off the end.

This is why I let the professionals do it - I would get frustrated and end up loosing the spring.

A very small torx driver works too....the small ?scalloped? edges help to retain the spring leg at the angle needed for insertion...happened on this by chance when I couldn?t find my small screwdriver.

I get the spring in place, insert the levers, put them through the spring hole, push them together a little bit just to catch a little (all this at around 10 o clock while kind of pushing down on the ejector a little), but then rotate the decocking levers straight up towards the ceiling, hook the spring on with my finger (the hook is easily accessed), then rotate the whole business down while pinching the levers together to snap in to place.  Took me a little practice to get it, but now I can do it really fast with no tools.

I did put a notch and a little bitty screwdriver I have for that Spring,it's  a bit of a "p i t a"  But it teaches me patience. But I'm still going to give the hemostat a try.
