After turning the weight of pull screw "IN" simply push out the trigger pivot pin with a small punch.
This can usually be done with hand pressure alone.
Now, the trigger can be pushed forward, as seen in Picture #2.
Drop out the old spring, and replace it with the new lighter weight spring.
Re-align the trigger pivot pin holes while also compressing the new trigger spring.
Replace the trigger pivot pin.
