Anyone replace their spring set yet?
I just finished changing mine, what a pain, literally my fingertips are still stinging!
Getting the ring onto the outside of the spring was the challenge. I ended up putting the spring on a slightly smaller punch that was secured in a vise. This allowed me to use both hands to force the ring onto the spring. I also used some slip2000 to help it slide on and to help the orange plug slide into the center after the ring was in place. I'm amazed at hoe much stiffer my extractor is now, can't see any movement no matter how hard I press with my fingers. Had a hard time getting the pin back in! I'll get out to test fire for function soon.

Here's what we (I) do here to install the o-ring onto the spring. I insert the spring into the extractor, hold the o-ring with one thumb over the edge of the spring and with the other thumb, stretch the o-ring over the other side of the spring. The spring being in the extractor gives you a more solid base to work from. I hope I explained that well enough.
