Help - P226 re-assembly bone-head move

[ez bake]

I feel like I'm batting 1000 this week after losing my trust paperwork, but apparently I topped this by taking down my Sig P226 Combat to clean after a day at the range and put the locking insert in with the Trigger Pivot upside down.

It slid in finger-tight with no issue until right at the end and I realized what I had done wrong, but my brain didn't tell me to stop until I had pushed it all the way down - now its stuck and I've tried just about everything I've got to get it out and have had no luck.

Anyone ever do this and figure out an easy way to fix their mistake? I really don't want to scratch this gun and with the week I'm having, I'd rather not have an expensive boat anchor.

Never mind - I fixed it. Just had to get a little firm with it, and have someone push down on the trigger bar.

Man, I was starting to sweat there.

Yeah, that's next - I'm digging through everything in the house trying to find the original copy.

I think we all find ourselves in that kind of situation sooner or later. Just grin and bear it!

I can pretty much guarantee it will be in the last place you look.

You also need to make sure the hammer is down.
Been there, man.
