Bob,
Just in front of the hammers. You will see two small holes above the hammer spring followers when viewed with the bottom of the reciever facing you.
You can find either a pin punch or a drill bit shank that will fit in these holes. Then you can depress the hammer spring " compress it" until you can insert the drift pin in the follower. This will hold the spring tension off of the hammer screw so you can easily remove it without causeing damage to the screw. You may need to rotate the spring follower some so the drift pin can fall into a slot machined in it. Also be careful not to use anything mettalic such as a screw driver on the sear notches on the hammers while trying to depress them. There are some machined flats on the sides of the hammers which are the cocking notches that make a good place to apply the force for compressing the springs.
After you have the hammer out you can take another drift "possible a hard wood dowel rod" and push in on the center of the spring follower to relieve enough spring tension so you can remove your retaining drift pin. You can then remove the follower and the hammer spring for a through cleaning.
Then assemble in reverse order.
Hope this helps!
Paul
