Looking for a tip...

Two tips:

1. If you choose not to remove the grip frame, place the safety in the "fire" position and clamp a wooden clothespin onto the left side of the safety pin, pressed up tight against the left side of the grip frame. This keeps the pin straight and in position, and hopefully keeps the ball & spring in there as well. Take off the trigger cover, then quickly apply a piece of masking tape over the ball and spring until you're done working on the trigger.

2. If the ball and spring are removed, I do the following to reinstall (again, if you choose not to remove the grip-frame)
- insert spring into position in groove
- insert the tip of an Xacto knife under the spring and use the side of the blade to push up on the spring to make space for the ball
- use fine tip tweezers (or a toothpick with a dab of grease on it) to place the ball under the spring in the groove
- carefully lower the spring onto the ball whilst holding the spring/ball in the groove (with the tweezers/toothpick)
- quickly apply a piece of masking tape over the spring/ball to prevent ejection

This is not easy to do, but it's possible with enough practice.

Method 1: same as yours, plus a little grease to hold onto the ball/spring

Preferred Method (takes more time) with breech and main tube off of the grip frame, the safety can be replaced and the spring and ball can be dropped down into the hole (ball first)  from the top of the trigger frame.
