Julia asked: " Also, if the springs need replacing, is there a special tool
or
tweezer to reach back in there (drop action) to replace the spring?  Am I in
for alot of labor here or what? "
Julia,
Not a biggee.<G> My tool of choice is Hemostats. You can get them in all
kinds of sizes. Curved or straight. Neat thing about hemostats, is that they
remain on your fingers/hand and you can still pick up things, etc. I use
straight ones, w/one "jaw" filed flat, (serrations removed), and filed to a
fine point, (on the top of the jaw), for picking up and placing paper
punchings, during key leveling. I'd be totally lost without them!<G> Check
out your local tool store. Or, you can get them from Jensen Tools, in
Phoenix.
