Crosman 180 hammer dis-assembly

[JayDee24ca]

I want to replace the hammer spring in my old 180, as it is distorted, and drags on the tube wall something fierce. I got the gun stripped down and the hammer assembly removed, but I am left scratching my head as to how the heck this thing comes apart. Can anyone help with a description of how to dis-assemble the hammer setup? I tried to find something on line, but they all conveniently skip right past the hammer once they have removed from the gun. Perhaps that's an omen!

I remember seeing here someone who took it apart, just can't seem to find the thread. IIRC, the spring assembly is peened together, so it's not a straightforward process, but it's doable. HTH.

   See if this helps.

Thanks for that link to the 2020 thread, there are some solutions there. It may be more trouble than it is worth, but I sure want to replace the spring. I will have a look at the assembly again to see if I can use the methods show in the older thread.
cheers
