I think we've all disassembled/reassembled the OM's enough to make some educated guesses.

Loosen the grip frame screws (about 1/2 way) to get the main spring where you need it, then tighten them back up.

What other issues have people ran into putting them back together?

Specifically I need to know the correct way to install the cylinder latch spring.
