I just picked up a 686SSR, and it is my first revolver with a spring loaded sight. How exactly is it removed and replaced? There is an access hole above the barrel, but I didn't want to start jamming things in there without knowing what I was doing. Thanks.

Just pull the sight back and lift up on the front.
