Getting the main spring out was not too difficult - putting it back was a challenge.
I ended up using my bench vise to compress the main spring and carefully slide the rod off of a smooth surface of the vise jaw into the tumbler pocket.
I only shot my bench with the rod once.
Is there a better way?
