Taurus 85 trigger spring

Can anyone tell me the easiest way to replace the trigger return spring in a Taurus model 85? I got the mainspring in Ok, but I can't figure out how to get the trigger return spring out.

Glockorama, when you pull the trigger to the rear the spring guide will come back through its stud. There is a hole in the guide. Insert a small pin, bent paper clip, etc., through the hole and it will hold the spring under tension while you remove the trigger. Once the trigger is out of the way, control the spring and remove the pin. Installation is the reverse. George
