I can't remember exactly who had the suggestion of taping the trigger forward when installing a new trigger return spring in H&K's, but they are a genius.
I swapped in a new TRS in my P2000 in about 2 minutes with minimal frustration.
- Punch out trigger pin.
- Remove old spring.
- Start trigger pin back in "large" hole just to the point where it protrudes into the spring cavity.
- Insert 1/16" punch in "small" hole just to the point where it protrudes into the spring cavity.
- Wrap tape around the back of the trigger and around the front of the trigger guard to hold the trigger in the forward position.
- Insert new TRS with needle nose pliers.
- Use the nose of the pliers to compress the spring.
- Press 1/16" punch through spring once it's aligned.
- Now use punch to help wiggle TRS as you use the trigger pin to push out the punch.
- Make the final alignments and push the trigger pin all the way in.
- Function test and hit the range.
