For the Lefever, the side plates come off first. If the sears are mounted to the plates, then no work needed there. If they are mounted to the frame, you first have to pull the sear sprigs out, then remove the pin holding the sears in at the top of the frame. Do not remove the sears yet... Then, on either model, you remove the hammers one side at a time. Tap the axle through just enough so that the hammer is free. Now that the hammer and sear are both loose, snake them both out of there. Then go to other side and tap the cocking axle back into the frame and out of that hammer, then remove that sides hammer and sear.

You can completely drive the cocking axle out and remove the cocking hook out the from also if you want, or leave it in, it doesn't matter.

Now you can remove the trigger plate and the frame from the stock.
Everything else is down hill.
