Rifle Scopes PH Mushy Click Fix Question

[Magnumdood]

I received my alternate set of springs to fix the "mushy click" feeling in my PH 5-25x56. The instructions first call to pry the lever up then lift the knob off of the scope, giving you access to the plate the single-springs are under.

I'm not the strongest guy in the world, but I have lifted weights for the last 35 years. I feel like I need to get a pry bar after the knob to simply lift it off (yes, the lever has been loosened).

Anyone have any suggestions?

PS - I've considered a steering wheel puller.

Have to completely remove the lever.

open the QR top. Rotate it until it fully unscrews?

Flip up lever and completely unscrew the lever assembly.

You sure you're up for the part under the turret with the little screws and all?

Thanks.

Do some of these PH's come with more than 1 spring mechanism chamber? I found one chamber under the plate, and it had a single-spring mechanism under a double-spring mechanism. PR sent me two double-spring mechanisms with the instructions to replace single-spring mechanism with the double-spring mechanism. Were some scopes sent out that had two single-spring mechanisms, or did I miss a spot?

One for windage, one for elevation. However my windage already had dual doubles, so you never know. There seems to be quite a bit of variance scope to scope with these Heritages.

You need to replace the bottom one. It is not so much the spring as the clicker material.

I did miss one; I was so focused on not screwing up what I was doing it didn't occur to me I had another knob to do.

Make sure to verify your zero, I was pretty sure I didn't twist anything when I did mine.
I was so sure I almost went to the Vegas match without confirming, but luckily I did. I was .4 mil right and a tenth or so off on elevation. Really glad I didn't blindly trust my mad scope skillz!

They feel nice now don't they?!

It made a world of difference. Both knobs now go "THUNK" when they hit the Mil marks. I'm going to be certain and check my zero. I'm sure I didn't get either knob back exactly where it came off. But, I got it close. I have access to a 1 mile range if I want to shoot that far. But, I believe I'll start at 100 and work up to 500 at the most; ya gotta learn to walk before ya can run doncha know.
