Shane, I think the ejector hammers, fig. pos. 52, is what you're referring to. In order to replace the forend, they need to be in the 'cocked' position. They are spring loaded and require considerable force to cock them. They should be cocked one-at-a-time. Hold the forend firmly with the tip of the forend toward you and with a wooden dowel or similar rod (not metal or hard plastic as they will slip) force the hammer toward the tip of the forend until it clicks into the cocked position. Same procedure for the other ejector hammer.
