There are already good tutorials s on here describing how to disassemble and reassemble hammerless Parkers. My recommendation is if you are not entirely comfortable working on your own guns, don't. Gunsmiths are there for all of us, and taking a shortcut, or trying to save a few bucks by not sending it out may cost you dearly. They aren't miracle workings. It's possible to rectify slightly damaged screw slots, but not all of them. These guns were built with very close fit tolerances between trigger plate and frame. The slightest amount of crud in the recess can result in a bent trigger plate.
