Looks like it's the whole latch or nothing, no part number given for just the spring.
I found a IPC on line.

Why not look into an owner-produced part to replace the spring. Spring tools are rather cheap.

I think they are the same as a 172, at least the FG ones anyway

I used that e-bay spring in my R182 with success. Going on two years now with no issues.

IPC’s are available from Textron for free when you setup an account on their website.

Sure some of them are, of various quality. The service letters, bulletins, and SIDS are harder to come by via a Google search and worth the “cost” of the free Textron online account/login, in my opinion.

Not in my opinion.
When I need, I look them up.

Supposedly an ar-15 trigger / hammer spring fits with some frustration. You can get a few from a gun shop for a few dollars or order online.

Why screw with that when you can buy a real spring from e-bay?

I know, I couldn't resist. I sure thought it made sense for an A&P (and anyone else that may read the forums) to have access to free technical content straight from the manufacturer. Sadly I put way too much thought into potential further replies.Brock, dude, you should know better by now than to actually try to help the man.
