Can't get the scissors in

[glenfiddich1983]

I'm trying to put my mod together. I understand that I need to push back this spring with a screwdriver, but even with applying a lot of force I can't seem to push it back far enough for the scissors to fit in. I don't want to push harder and risk bending my liners and pins.

What's the trick with these darn scissors backspring?

I use the same technique as you did... scissors in closed possion... apply pressure on the liners while pushing the backspring... it seemed difficult at first though...

Make sure the hook is in the closed position too, or you're making it harder.

Do you push the spring with the scissors in the closed position also? Or open?

I tried it in all different ways and applied so much force already and still no succes 

Really affraid to ruin this whole thing by bending the pins and liners...

And do you do this with the liner already above the scissors, or without the liner in place?

They are just a tough spring to work with. I always shove a mini flathead screwdriver with a shaft no thicker than the spring on top of the spring and under the pin and force it until I get the scissors to sit right. Sometimes for me, it's easier to have the liner in place so that I can apply pressure to a the side of the scissors with a flat surface.

I would say, don't do the spring bending thing without liners on both sides, or you might bend the pin!

Finally got them in! I thought lets start over from the other side, this way I had better grip because the corkscrew wasn't in the way!!

I put my mod together a few differnt times to test a few different things out and used plier on a couple different tools to get them in but mostly like Syph said make sure the backside tool.is closed  Learnt that the hard way

Glad you solved it though  I luckily started opposite side of corscrew everytime though 

Can't wait to see the end result

Oh I do it before putting the next liner on.  Much easier.  Just lube the pivot area and press down while wiggling and it will pop on, then put on next liner.

Thanks for the advice all!
