Angelo,

This sort of hard to describe but I will give it a go.

After you remove the piston/spring assembly from the mc body, look at where 
the spring buts against the piston. There is a black piece there that the 
spring sort of fits on. What you have to do is carefully pry up the metal tab 
that is pressed into the bottom of the piston groove - the real small diameter 
part. Once you do this the spring will come off. When you are ready to re-
assemble, just put it back and press in the tab. The tab holds it all 
together.

Remember, this assembly is spring loaded so be careful when you pry up the 
tab. Hold the spring in  your hand so it doesn't go flying off in to the land 
of lost parts.
