I’m getting ready to install a vortek kit in my Diana 460. I’ve done a lot of reading but I can’t find a real good break down video/description. I have a spring compressor and I’ve worked on guns before just not springers. Any special information or things to be extra careful or to look out for or anything else I should know would be appreciated.

There are a few tips and tricks for working on the 460 but most are not required for a simple spring change. I bought my 460 gently used and the first thing I did was remove the Vortek kit. Anyhow, the first thing to know is to not put any pressure on the safety lever. I place a small block of wood or metal next to the lever extending past the lever and apply pressure to the flat at the rear of the gun, not the safety. The two cross pins are all that hold the gun together and when you get the spring compressor adjusted properly they slip out pretty easily. Dummy pins are a good idea at this point. Use your dummy pin to press out the actual retaining pin. The trigger spring is not bent correctly in some guns and a dummy pin in the rear hole will hold it in place. If you do not use a dummy pin in the rear hole you may find yourself in the trigger assembly putting the correct bend on the spring. Other than that it's pretty straightforward. Lowe's sells dummy pins in packs of four. Lowe's calls them Hillman Shelf Pins:

If you go to youtube, there are several disassembly videos of the D460. search "diana 460 disassembly". to give you a better feeling of what you're getting into.
I recommend the pins too for the trigger group as Roadworthy said. Hector first pointed those out to me.

I appreciate the tips. Roadworthy I’m curious why you removed the Vortek kit? I thought they were supposed to be good.
