I bought the wolff spring set for my Ruger gp100. The hammer return spring is easy to replace. My question is where do you begin to remove the trigger in order to gain access to the return spring?

onecruiser,
Please refer to the "exploded view" in your GP100 manual (it's pages 28 and 29 in mine).
The trigger guard latch spring (KT03800) provides pressure to both the trigger guard latch (KT04600) and the trigger via the trigger link plunger (KT03700) and trigger link (KT07100).
Remove the trigger guard as per the instructions in the manual, then push out the trigger guard latch pin (KE-22) with toothpick while holding the latch in (to relieve pressure on the pin). Once the pin is out, carefully release pressure on the latch. Tilt the front of the trigger guard up--the latch, spring and plunger should all fall right out.
Hope that helps!

Thanks for the help guys. I have to tell you, that I replaced the GP100 springs with the 10lb springs from Wolff and it made a great difference. I took the gun to the range yesterday with some 38 wadcutter and a couple types of .357 stuff.
Shooting double action I was able to make 1 1/2 inch ragged holes with the wadcutter stuff and just a little bigger than that with the 357 ammo. That was from about 15 yards or so. For me that's pretty good control.
I came home and checked the pistol with my old Security Six which I thought had a great trigger and the GP100 beat it hands down. It's a good thing.
