Just picked up some WC upgrade spring for my Blackhawk & Vaquero and wanted to know how I would swap out the the hammer springs?
 
Make sure the gun is unloaded.

Remove Grips,

Cock gun,

Capture spring at the end of the strut with a 1/2" piece of coat hanger.

Wiggle and sneak out the assembly, don't be afraid of giving it a little tug.

Place the assembly in a vice with the captured end up.
get your vice grips and grab the saddle and push it down a little to allow you to remove the capture pin.

Exchange the springs and reverse the above.

While you have the assembly apart I like to give the strut a good go over w/ file to 1000 grit, to smoooooth it up,,, and take a micro file to the saddle where the strut rides.

Before re-assembly I like to give the strut a wipe of tetra grease too.
