Wilson Combat Flat Spring Kit Question

[PorscheVille]

I just got my Wilson Flat Spring kit. One reason I decided to switch out my whole guide rod, bushing and spring was to get away from using the "paper clip" tool. Then I see this little hole.....then I see this tiny pin! #%*!? WTF?

So I ASS-u-me that instead of the awkward little L tool that my fingers can barely pick up I can now use the even smaller tiny little pin that I can't possibly pick up?

I swear I saw a YouFool video that showed a guy breaking down a Pro without a tool.

Yours truly,
Fooled in Ky.

Ps. Sorry for the crappy iPad photo.

The hole is optional. Watch the video on Wilson Combat's web site.

The hole is only there to help you initially install the spring if you feel you need it. Watch the video on Wilson Combats site.

Chuck, I don't need that ho! Me and that ho are history!.....uh, never mind. You said "hole".....but I still don't don't need it! I watched Wilson's video, which is what I think I saw on YouFool but my mind apparently blocked out the hole.

I'm ready to go tool-free!

When I get home and put it in, I'll post about how smart I am.

I've got every confidence in you, you're going to pop it right in and forever be tool free.

I use NDZ take down tool. Kimber 3" Ultra II Teardown tools - S & L (Combo Kit)

I dropped the little pin and lost it before I could get it in, any how you don't need it though the first time I put mine together it was a struggle but if I can do it anyone can. O and you will find the gun runs much smoother with the Wilson spring and rod installed.

Those are expensive tools that replace an inexpensive tool!

You can do it!! Make sure you get your Johnny Walker back though, just in case!
