I changed my SL8 with a HERA BCK gen II block and I am now adding more US parts to comply with 922r.
I just got a US made operating rod but I can't figure out how to get the spring and rings off the original operating rod.
There is some kind of metal clamp on it that keeps those from falling out but it is fitting real tight and I cannot get it off easily.
Does anyone have any experience on how to do this? Should I just hammer it off using a screw driver?

Thanks!

Set it over a vise allowing the rod to float inbetween the jaws using the metal plate to hold it up , then tap the rod out , the plate will force the clamp up the rod .
