I am about to scream if I have to battle this any longer. I have spent hours trying to do this
I followed the video, and several like it here:

The bolt slides in fine. The hammer is down. But I cannot for the life of me get the mainspring pin to lock into the top. No amount of force, including slipjoint pliers(within reason) will get this to happen. It is the pin that goes through up into the bottom of the frame, through the bolt, and into to top part where there is a catch. If that makes sense.
Am I missing something obvious? I am 1 second away from taking this to a gunsmith.....but don't want him/her to do 5 seconds of work and have me look like a fool
