Yesterday we installed a 14lb rebound slide spring in a friends 329PD. I've done dozens of these swaps down thru the years and never had as much of a problem getting the new spring over the post as we did yesterday. It appears that Wolff now makes these springs much longer than they used to. Looks like we need to modify a screw driver to make a rs spring tool! Anybody care to comment on the length of the new springs?
