checking with my local gunsmith, i asked him if their was a tool on the market for installing the large spring that slides down around the firing pin. Model 70 winchester. he said he knows of none and uses a vise or vise grips at times.. does anyone at gun brokers have a better mouse trap for doing this task.

  I wish I could help, but maybe I can I think Winchester would tell you not to attempt to try fixing this. As it can be a tough task. Let a good gunsmith fix it or send it back to the factory.
  
  Good Luck.

  I made a tool years ago, but Timney offers one commercially now.
