Whew, I didn't expect so many responses. My hard drive took a nose dive and I was without a PC. So, you assumed right about the spring -it's the mainspring. Yarddog, I do plan on doing a complete job so, the return spring will be changed out too. I forgot about that procedure, gunsmither. That's what I did on my Single Six but my question is about doing the swap. You have to remove the retaining pin to change out the springs so, how do you compress the new spring to get the keeper pin back in. Sorry about the lack of pics. I still have to do a post mortum on the old PC to get those pics.
