On one of my C96's, I had to use a clamp to hold down the leaf/spring and simultaneously tap it out with a brass drift...I had the receiver extension held in a padded vise (my mill vise)...

I substituted another leaf spring and it does not require all that work...

You basically have to push the sight leaf all the way down to get it lined up with the channel and then push/tap it out...
