Like the title. I dismantled my No. 1 Mk III bolt and cleaned and re blued. I was happy with the results until it came time to assemble. Of course, I broke the spring trying to push it in with a screwdriver. I won't do that again. I found a spring at a gun show, luckily, and now I'm looking for the proper way to install. Thanks.........................Daniel

Use dental floss through the spring one hole around the spring and pull in into position - I personally use a small flat tip screw driver to push it in

I use a brass punch to push them in, and to remove them, never had one break.
