RECOIL SPRING REPLACEMENT &
BARREL REMOVAL FROM SLIDE
1. With the takedown tool in place, slide the
guide rod assembly into the spring tunnel of
the slide.
2. With the guide rod assembly in the slide, firmly
grasp the slide with your hand. (The ejection
port should be facing the palm of your hand.)
3. While grasping the slide place both your
thumbs firmly against the head of the guide
rod. Push the rod forward releasing pressure
on the takedown pin tool. Let takedown pin
fall clear.
4. Carefully back the guide rod out relieving the
spring pressure.
5. Remove the old recoil spring from the guide
rod.
6. Clean and lubricate all components. Place
new recoil spring with recoil spring plug back
onto the guide rod
(closed end of the spring
goes on the rod first).
7. Once again grasp the slide firmly in your
hand. Push the guide rod forward until
takedown pin hole is visible.
