Takedown lever spring PITA!

This is exactly what I did. First, I set the spring into place as deeply as possible using my pin-punch. Then I used a piece of aluminum flat stock to push on the axis of the lever so I wouldn't mar same while simultaneously pushing the lever into correct alignment with a flat-blade on the inside. Braced the Luger against the lip of a plastic (non marring) slop sink with my hip while the rest of this fiasco was going on.
