Here is a video made by our member showing the recoil spring removal/installation tool. If you look closely, it is actually made from an awl. I build mine from a General No. 318 model that I got from Lowes. I clipped off the sharp end and carefully bent it using a propane torch. It works perfectly and just as advertised.
