Hello all. An good friend of mine has a G26 Gen4 and he wanted me to do a full disassembly and clean it for him and wants a different recoil spring installed. Is there anyway to disassemble the factory guide rod and install a new spring on it or do I need to get a new guide rod as well?
Thanks.

  I don't know the answer to your question directly, but I know Wolff Springs has this note with their Glock 26/27 (and other compact Glock model) replacement springs:
  Extra power spring sets help improve recoil function in these pistols. Springs are for use with Wolff Guide Rod Components. Springs are non-captive for easy changes on Wolff guide rods listed below.
  
  They don't sell any replacement springs listed to replace the captive ones; I'm not aware of anyone else who does, so I'm thinking that spring assembly isn't designed to be a "serviceable" unit.

  Go to glockstore.com and watch their videos. They have tons of videos on full disassembly. The Gen 4's use a captured spring. Really no need to fully disassemble it unless you really have to. If you need a heavier spring they sell them already assembled with plastic, steel or tungsten rods.
