Dave Markowitz's Blog O'Stuff about computing, shooting, RKBA, and whatever else I feel like ranting about.
If you need to replace a hand spring in a Smith & Wesson revolver this video shows how:
In the video he used a dental tool to push the spring forward so that it's in the correct position relative to the hand. I found that a spring bar tool as used for changing watch bands worked perfectly. I used one that was included in this inexpensive kit.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

The tool looks like what we used in woodwind instrument repair for setting needle springs. We just took a small crochet hook, flattened the end with a fine grinding wheel and used a triangular jewlers' file to cut the notch. Cheap & easy (if you have the tools to make it).
