[QUOTE="filobeto, post: 2397390, member: 8646"] Notice you hammer position. Use the instructions above with the hammer cocked. You can gently tap, i mean gently tap with a brass punch although you should not have to do this. Look at 1911 diagram so you get a handle on what the safety is hitting. It will be hitting the sear and the hammer. If you have removed the mainspring housing you can move the sear forward with a wooden Q-tip. When you are wiggling it you do not need to move it very far as it is hitting small corners. With the mainspring off you can try different hammer positions. The plunger spring may be causing you problems as well. Check the pressure and try to relieve it as you wiggle. Be patient. It will pop right out and if you are like me you plunger spring will fly across the room lost for ever. [/QUOTE]
