A little help,please.
I have been all over the net looking for detailed instructions on how to replace the firing pin spring on my PA63,as I have a wolff package on the way and I hear there are all sorts of 'issues' with doing this job.
Pictures or scans of instructions would be most helpful,a step-by-step would also be appreciated.
Thank you for any help.
 
Remove the slide and place it upside down.
Have a small pair of needle nose and a small screwdriver handy.

With the safety OFF use the screwdriver to push the back of the firing pin down and forward.

Have an assistant use the needle nose to grab the front of the firing pin so it can't go back wards.
Any other means can be used that will temporally hold the firing pin forward as you remove the thumb safety.

With the firing pin forward the safety can be pushed out the side of the slide.

There is a plunger and spring that holds the safety in position. As you push the safety out of the slide the plunger and spring will fly out. Don't lose them. I have no idea where you would get another.

With the safety removed the firing pin and spring are free to come out the back.

Reverse to assemble.
 
Thanks M2.
Very clear and easy to understand.
I belive I can even do this without pictures.
Thanks!
