Walter PP Question

[K98]

I have a Walther PP with a stuck safety. Is this an easy fix? Stuck in the fire position.
thx

I'll strip mine in the next day or two to show you the insides. You can get a schematic off Numrich.

The safety of the Walther PP is similar to the safety of the Mauser HSc and the Walther P38. The safety lever is attached to a drum. One side of the drum is solid, the other side is cut through. In the safe position the solid face of the drum prevents the firing pin from moving forward; the cut through position allows it to pass through. The safety is retained by a pin on the toggle side of the drum. Once you have the slide off, take a look at the drum and start by lubricating it.

First picture is fire, second is safe.
