Little intro "how i handle de- and installing the firing pin" being not adequately supplied with the tool.

I put the slide on the table upside down, i take a deep breath and imagine the universe in perfect balance

Left palm is pressing slide down to the table (righty) while left thumb and left pointer finger reach the firing pin stop.

The special firing pin disassembly and Kadet tuning tool (ball pen) or its plastic guide rod presses the FP as straight as possible into the FPstop and lifts him slowly up to get secured by the two fingers feeling the movement up. Until the spring loaded FP pops out an gets stopped with intend by the right hands fingers holding the tool too. For the first "shots" i would recomend a barrier.  ::) The use of a ball pen was more easy in the beginning than the guide rod. Until i was able to push in the firing pin straight without slipping of the back end of the FP when pushing him in. Especially when reinstalling  ::)

For installing i put in the spring and insert the FP with the flat end up.
Left palm pressure is finding a place on the slide to alow the thumb-pointer- tweezers to hold the FPstop at it`s channel.

From the right side i press the FP as far in as i can place the FPstop on the biggest diameter of the FP or already on the flatted end. While holding the FP upright and pressing him down on the FP - i push the FP with the tool against the springforce linear completely down in its channel. Until the stop and pin clicking into the contemplated position. With a little routine it can be done unobserving randomly.
If you can do this on the first try - you are my hero. Better have a barrier..


Pics mixed tools but in right order, incomplete, but you get it

Dissassembly


Finger tweeze the FPstop as you press in FP and lift up FPstop with the tool -
 be aware of sudden spring supported release of the FP  ::)






assembly- imagine your fingers beeing part in the process

against the springforce linear


on the biggest diameter of the FP or already on the flatted end


press the FP in to place the FPstop on the biggest diameter of the FP


finger tweezers to hold the FPstop at it`s channel


push FP completely down its channel


stop and pin clicking


No oil or liqid fluna in the FP channel  ::) Wiped and Q-tiped it off before.

Nice job Joe
I love your Camera
BUT:
I've always found, if you do this sort of thing; in a well lite, empty Closet, with a Hardwood Floor, you'll NEVER lose the Parts    :o
Note:
You should always wear Eye Protection   ;)
