How much of a pain is this and how is the best way to do it? I have a bolt that seems to have a weak spring. I have to hit the bullets twice. Is this the spring for it ,is my other question. Thanks.

What ? It is easy to replace springs. Check firing pin protrusion with the Mosin Tool and inspect the firing pin tip to be sure its intact. Use a new extra power one; and then just replace the old one in the bolt with the new one. Factory NOS is 20-21; Wolff is 24 use the 24. Be sure the bolt is cleaned and greased. Then put it back together.
