    I am in the process of replacing a few parts in my TM1. Unfortunately I am having some difficulty removing the Top Lever. I have it part way out, but seems to be stuck. Anyone have any ideas on what I might be missing? Thanks in advance

    Interesting, could you post the link? I’ve done the searching and only seem to find MX related threads and videos.

    I looked on youtube myself. You are correct, there are no videos specific to the TM1. I assume I saw the same video you did on the MX. Did you notice that when he took the top lever out it looked like he pushed in on something on the right side of the lever then the plunger and spring came out.
    I've owned 3 of them but never went that deep when I cleaned them so I can't say for sure if the TM1 and the MX top levers are held in place the same way.

    Great, just out of curiosity, was there a plunger that had to be depressed?

    And, make sure there aren't any parts left on the bench when you think you have it put back together. :D:D:D

    When I took the firing pin out, it kind of shot out and I was able to catch it. But, wasn’t able to locate the spring. Didn’t think to see if it was still in the receiver. That was the hold up. Lol

    if your firing pin spring is still in there it could be your problem
