I thought that I'd add this as it can be a bit of a PITA to get the trigger back into position after stripping the gun down for maintenance or repair.
Step one.
This is a picture of the starting position, which is where you should be at.
Step two.
This is how the trigger group should look like with the cylinder hand, rebound bar and trigger return spring fitted. It you have problems keeping the rebound bar in position then just use a little grease in the hole on the trigger and that will keep it in place.
Step three.
Now comes the fiddly bit ! Take the trigger group and position it so that the short leg on the trigger return spring sits against the post just left of the trigger's pivot point hole (the RED arrow in the picture), then whilst keeping the trigger in tension try to 'slide' the whole trigger group downwards (in the direction of the GREEN arrow), it should just drop into the pivot point hole as you do this. Note that if you're not far enough over to the left you will have to move the trigger group down and slightly left. I've found that the best way to do this is to use your thumb to keep pressure on the trigger to keep it as flat as possible as you move it downwards.
It may take a couple of attempts to master the technique, just don't panic if the trigger group falls apart on you as you attempt to do it, re-seat the spring in it's correct position (which will lock the cylinder hand in place) and dab a little grease to the end of the rebound bar and try again. Take your time and eventually it will end up looking like this.
Step four.
Fit hammer back into frame, replace side plate and screws, tighten the rear sight back up and snap the grip panel back into place, that's it ! You're all done.
