This is why I think it's so important to build you're own lowers. Nothing wrong with buying them built, but knowing how it all goes together will save you $$$ instead of having a gunsmith helping with simple assembly. No sweat though, its not to hard at all.
First step is to loosen or even take off the grip, this is necessary to get the safety out, which is necessary to get the trigger out.
Be careful when you do this and do it slowly because there is a small spring and detent housed inside the top left edge (safety side) of the grip which provides friction on your safety.
Once this is out, your safety will slide out, and your trigger will be accessible.
Next take the trigger pins out slowly while keeping your hand over the whole stuff so you dont send pieces or springs flying, and take the trigger parts out slowly in one piece. put them down on a piece of paper and trace how they go before complete dis-assembly. Then when you get it back you will know what the deal is.
Its really not THAT hard, but its something you want to carefully pay attention to the first time because it all has to be put back together in the same order.
I looked on line and there are some crappy videos, but I will make one monday that will provide more close up views and a step-by-step.
IF ALL ELSE FAILS...watch some YouTube videos on how to assemble a stripped lower.
