OK, I have pushed the pin out holding the sear in. But there is NO existing sear spring in this gun at this time, so there is no visual aid for me as to how it is placed among/within the sear.
Now, the sear itself is "loose", but it will not come completely free - it is stuck loosely inside its "hole" due to the hammer preventing it from being removed. I think that if I could get the sear out, I could figure out how the spring goes in.
So, questions:
1. Must I remove the hammer in order to replace the sear spring, or not?
2. How does the spring attach or is aligned to keep the sear pushed forward along its rotation on the pin?
All of the online manuals (such as this one: http://www.e-gunparts.com/productschem.asp?chrMasterModel=1300z52 PISTOL ) show far too little detail as to how the spring attaches to the sear, to allow me to figure it out.
3. So, are there any more extremely detailed online schematics, besides this one that I find just about everywhere?
4. Is the spring aligned to the left or to the right of the sear? The pin goes through the hole in the spring, I assume? But I see no "catches" on the sear, onto which the "hook" on the short arm of the spring can attach - weird. When installed, is the short arm of the spring pointing up or down?
5. Any other guidance on how to get this spring in correctly?
Thanks!
