GoPack,
Have you ever totally taken one down before? If not I'll caution you about removing the safety lever. The right side lever (as the gun is pointed away from you) is simply held on with an internal compression style fitting. You remove it by sliding something thin under the body of the safety lever and -GENTLY- prying it out. HOWEVER Do NOT pry on the lever arm itself. It's relatively delicate and you can bend/break it if you use it as a prying point.

the rest of the disassembly follows a pretty standard 1911 pattern (with the usual fun of getting the trigger bits back in place afterwards

)
