remington 700 trigger removal

[justinc68]

Currently trying to replace my remington 700 sps trigger.

The front pin will not move out of the way far enough to take the trigger out.

any suggestions on what i am doing wrong? the back pin moved without any trouble.

Thanks!

Careful when removing the trigger housing from the action. Be sure to have the short disassembly pins in place before you do that so you don't have a sear spring flying across the room. You can get the short pins through Brownells and other shooting equipment suppliers.
It can be done without the short pins if you take your time and work carefully to hold the sear in place until you can get a nylon zip tie through the hole but if your hold slips - bye bye spring.

Yeah the spring flew out when i tried to move the rear pin and pushed it too far through.

How much of a problem will reassembly be?

Great Video and thanks for the help.

Got it all figured out and back together. Thanks to the help of a friend with a 700 i could compare it too.
