Decided there was no real reason to ever do that again.

I definitely agree Mike ... the 1st time I did it I didn't remove the mainspring tension at first ... After over an hour trying to line up the lever's pin holes I used the my tiny brain and did it the right way.

Even though I now find this procedure child's play there really is no reason to remove the recoil lever pin except for repairs.
