Yes. It's not under direct pressure from the mainspring.
Drift the pins out, as the rear of the trigger mechanism drops down the safety catch and its spring will be released. Make sure you don't lose them, they can "fly".
Can someone please tell me:
Can I remove the trigger assembly without removing the end piece of the gun?
Cheers!

And when putting it back in cock the trigger unit first.
Cheers for the replies gents!
As I am looking closer at the assembly I notice that the pins holding the parts
in the assembly are not held in place with the usual E-clips, they seem to
locked by being "hammered" at the ends.
Any issues or special tricks removing them, or will I be fine just driving them
out and later just knock them back in again?
Cheers!

Cheers! I just tried giving one a whack with a pin punch and it came right out and went back in again without
problems. Looking at them had me somewhat worried. It could appear that someone had been a bit overeager
with an hammer and a chisel while assembling the trigger unit.

On all the HWs I strip I spend a few moments gently rubbing the pins down on emery and dressing the holes up with a needle file so the pins can be replaced with finger pressure. Saves a lot of hassle when your re-building.
As previously stated - dont forget to cock the trigger before replacing it and dont forget to fire the trigger otherwise, when you come to cock it, you wonder whats gone wrong (Dont ask me how I know this )

Thank God it hasn't been just me. I took the action out of the stock and only realized as I was tapping the pins out and the trigger fired
Just relieve them until they are finger tight. They cant go far in the stock anyway. What can do a runner is the hollow dowels (and safety catch spring) in the trigger side plates.
Its just easier not to be working against the top sear spring pressure.
