[QUOTE="thor447, post: 4234639, member: 24867"] It's fully disassembled now. Dang that was a lot of parts! In a moment of supreme ignorance I pinged a spring into another dimension, never to be found again. I'll never know what caused me to lose concentration at that moment, but the instant I did that I paid for it. I found a replacement spring, and they wanted $46 for it! Just a little spring, less than half the size of my pinky fingernail. I didn't choose to purchase it, but rather used it as an opportunity to make my own spring, which I'm happy to say works beautifully. Thankfully I was a bit forward thinking a few months back and sourced some spring wire in a view different thicknesses, and one of them was the perfect size for this part. A bit of finessing later I had a fully working replacement spring. After that fiasco, I was focused like a surgeon and thankfully didn't repeat my error! [/QUOTE]
