I think there's a 1/8 allen bolt in there. Flash a light down into the pistol grip. You'll need a longer reach allen wrench to get in there. Lefty loosey, rightey tighty.

When removing the pistol grip, make sure to not lose the safety spring & detent. These are held in place by the grip.

I was going to say "hacksaw". But the allen wrench thing works too.

Exactly what he said! But really watch you don't loose those springs on the right side of the pistol grip!

Should be a five minute (max) swap.

Not that it's necessary, but you should be able to find a good video on youtube to show how it's done.
