First take off the slide, and the take off the grips and free up the tension on the hammer stirrup.
When you pull out the Sideplate Assembly leave the small pin in (sear pin), the one that is held in place by the open forked end. (1 pin is part of the assembly). Use a small punch as close to the diameter of the hole as possible (they are different sizes) to push out the pin from the right side of the gun.
Leave the punch in, and then back it out just enough to pull out the Hammer, leaving the 2 levers to the right (firing pin safety lever and the sear release lever) captured by the punch. Try to do it with the gun on it's side. The Ejector/Magazine Depressor might fall out. Then replace the hammer, and thread the punch through the hammer hole, and then the Ejector/Magazine Depressor hole.
When everything is lined up, Push the captured pin in the Sideplate assembly through the hole, pushing out the punch while doing it, everything should remain lined up. Then snap the end over the cutout in the sear pin to retain the sear pin. Be careful as the Fork can easily bend or break. That will suck BIG TIME!
