I just got my SD40VE and the take down lever was so hard to pull down I got an extended lever to replace it. When I depressed the spring it stayed down and now I can't get it back up. I already replaced the trigger and springs with the Apex set so I'm sure no warranty. I have modified my Bodyguard and Glock so I know how. My question is has anyone replaced the spring for the slide lock? I don't look forward to removing the trigger and guts again.
I got stainless guide rod and 20# spring but after reading these posts I think I will leave the stock one in.
Another thing I noticed on every photo or video the spring is positioned so it goes over the colored piece, on my gun it is installed to the rear of it

The part # is 250650000 S&W parts 800-331-0852 ex 4125. $5.24 + shipping total $11.00. WRONG PART # this just came today and it is for the slide stop lever, not the slide release spring. I wonder if one for a Glock would fit at least they have parts lists.
Thanks for any help.
