Does anyone know how to remove the pin like device that holds the recoil assembally from the rear trunion?  I cannot figure this out, it SEEMS to twist off, but I cant get it off.

Also, does anyone know if there is a difference between AK triggerguards(between say rommy or whatever I would buy from copes and the yugo one)? the one that came with my kit was cracked and rewelded by whoever chopped up the rifle, and its not going to be usable in my build.  Any help would be appreciated.  

Pookie has an excellent pictorial here

As for the difference in Romy and yugo triggers, the Romy is parked whereas the yugo is blued...other than that, I see no difference.

yes they are different the yugo is a little shorter in the back becouse of the pistol grip nut plate sits under the back rivet where as the romy is attached right to the receiver all in all you need a yugo one I compared one side by side
romy wont work on a yugo trigger hits the guard a friend off mine found that out the hard way

Just measured the trigger guard on 10 of my Romys and 10 of my Yugo underfolders and they all measure 82.5 mm, so I really cannot say that they will not interchange with one another.  As a matter of fact, I busted one of my Yugo trigger guards trying to remove the grip nut plate and used a romy's in it's place just fine.

that would work fine since the romy is taller than the yugo you can't do it the other way around

lenght is fine it is the hight the romy in the back is about 34mm and the yugo is 30mm
If you were to put a yugo trigger guard on a romy without a spacer in the back rivet hole the trigger would be closer to the guard so they would work just be a little crooked

thanks everyone, I appreciate the responses!
