How long should it take to replace the clip latch spring?

[Bayou]

Title says it all. I have a good shop manual for the rifle but just haven't had the time to find the section with step by step instructions on replacing this component. Can anyone tell me will be be an involved process that takes a good while or something pretty easy? Thanks!

Easy-take the receiver out of the stock, use a small pin(I use a 1/16 alllen wrench) and push the pin out, from rear to front. It only comes out one way. Latch will push itself away from the receiver-swap springs, then re-assemble in reverse order. Takes 5 min.

I can change that spring in one minute. Try it,you'll like it.

I think it took me longer to open the tiny little zip-lock than it did to replace the spring! (fat fingers)
