HELP!

Boy what a relief, I couldn't push down from the top and get the hold open to drop, so I used a 90 degree dental tool and pulled it down from inside the frame (grips off)while pulling back on the toggle. Careful inspection of the hold open spring revealed the replacement to be about 1/16" shorter, slightly narrower and not arched like the original, so much for after market parts. Replaced the spring with the original and everything is fine, except I'm back to square one with it's problems. Thanks guys, it's great to have such support and everybody trying to help. I have suddenly lost my headache. Bob
