...and done!

Hi Alan, sorry to drag this up but I've just bought some that need restoring. How do you get the locking lever and spring off and back on - do you need a press or something?

Blimey how a year flys by, I thought this was a recent thread until I saw the date.

The spring is easy to remove, just pop if the start of the sprint over the lip of the locking button and move the spring round and around the locking button till it comes off.
The locking button can be painted/powdered without removal.
The lever is bolted in place... not a rivet like Tech 3
