Leaf spring removal

[mrbeil]

Hey all,

While my CZ858 is affected by the reclassification, my leaf spring is broken (The big spring at the rear of the receiver). It broke in January and it's been bothering the ever loving hell out of me. I found a new spring, but I can't figure out how to get the old one out. Any ideas?

The spring that energizes the sear? Find the finger that pushes up on the takedown pin detent (it points to the rear of the receiver) then compress it while you slide the takedown pin out. There is a detent in there too so don't lose it. Then with the necessary trigger group parts removed it should lift out.

I can't seem to get it around the block welded to the receiver
