Trigger Bar Trouble

alee64 · 05-16-2008, 04:15 PM

I want to remove the SMALL pin in the sear, so that I can remove the spring and clean throughly. I know I must drive the pin out, but should the spring be depressed before tapping it out? or not? Andy

The only way I have been able to remove the pin was mill it out and use a new pin......

Howard, I have successfully removed several of these pins with the correct size pin punch over a bench block with an appropriate sized hole under the pin... I never had one of them balk. Not sure why you had a problem.

Andy,

In answer to your question, no you don't need to depress the plunger to drive out the pin.
