I have decided to change the hammer and trigger springs and have ordered them from Wolff. I watched a couple of videos on how to take down the R.V. It shows how you put a pin or what ever in the hole to trap the mainspring .My question is what is the best way to remove the spring to replace it with the new spring.? I haven't worked on a vaquero before but it don't look to intimidating.

I can get mine out without removing the gripframe. After that you will have to fight the spring a little to get it off the hammer strut but it will be outside the gun where you can hold it in a vise or somehow push the clip down and pull the pin out. Hey ain't that how they light off a grenade?? :eek:

Received my springs from wolff today. The trigger spring was no problem however the main spring from wolff looks to be about a 1/2 inch longer than the stock one. Does this spring need to be clipped to length??? or does it just compress more??

I can remove the hammer spring from the Single Six and the large frame BH without removing the grip frame, but not the .44 Spl flattop. That damned internal lock is in the way.

Well I installed a 30oz trigger spring [easy] Then I got the 26# hammer main spring installed. [ turned the air blue a couple of times] All is well that ends well. Can't wait to get to range to try this configuration out. The hammer feels more powerful and the trigger is crisp, looking good.

You will love the difference. Dry fire it loads before and after you go.

I made it to the range today to try out the new spring changes. I like the way it feels now. Very positive and the trigger is crisp. I noticed an improvement in my shooting right off. I still have a ways to go. I just have to keep at it and practice more.
