Attempted to install a hogue grip on my LCP Custom and you need to remove the spring cap by inserting a punch into the hole on the grip to release the tab. I inserted a punch and without much force the tab broke. I still cannot remove the spring caped I have attempted to insert the punch at different angles to remove it.

I'm hoping someone has knowledge on what I can do to remove the cap. Here is a picture of the step I am referring to http://gallowayprecision.com/skin/common_files/images/ruger-lcp-trigger-install-3.jpg

I have no clue but if the punch is on the hole wouldn't the punch be holding the cap in place? Also what Hogue are you installing? A grip sleeve? Sleeve would just slide on.

This guy shows the procedure for installing the grip. It should show you whether or not you did anything wrong.
