Quiet Burp Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Is it a fairly easy task for a novice to install Wolff Ruger New Model Vaquero Springs? Any hints before I undertake the task? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusta B. Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 A small vise & vice grips for removing & installing spring retention clip will be very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlands Bob #61228 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Watch the videos on Youtube several times. It's not hard but there are a couple of tricks to make assembly easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyesa Horg Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Also go to the Ruger site and watch their video. Easy peasy. A fork can be used to aid pushing down the hammer spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Spade Mikey Wilson Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I found it to be quite easy. Have an old fork handy for the hammer spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 As others have said a fork, an appropriate sized punch, in combination with a vise for me, though if you have strong hands not required, and you are good to go. Regards Gateway Kid be sure SWMBO is cool with you using her fork or there will be consequences!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good advice. I've changed them many times while testing at the range without a vise. You just need a second vise grip to hold up the strut. I like the vise grip much better than a fork. Less time looking for the tab after your grip slips with the fork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waimea Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 A box. That might save you hours of time looking for a spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
