+1 to that. I just took apart my Model 66 for the first time. That hand torsion spring is a little beetch to get back in there.

edit to add: I talked to a gunsmith who has devised a wire tool that makes holding the spring in position a lot easier than the screwdriver trick.

He attaches the wire to the bench with a screw, then loops the other end over the spring arm that needs to be forward of the pegs, and pulls back on the trigger assembly
whilst he inserts the hand into the trigger.
neat.
