I may be getting this wrong but on my Ped Jaeger the rear trigger is the set trigger, after this is set then the front hair trigger comes into play.
For reasons known only to Pedersoli and Lyamn the spring in their set triggers seem to be a severe case of overkill.
All the spring has to do is to propel the blade on the rear trigger into the sear arm with enough force to dislodge the sear nose from the tumbler.
As was mentioned, sometimes loosening the screw that holds the spring in place will reduce the pressure enough to make setting it easier.
The other method is to carefully file the thickness of the spring down.
If you file the spring, make all of the strokes in the long direction of the spring. Never file across its narrow direction.
Also, be careful with reducing the thickness as the force of the spring works as the cube of the thickness so, try reassembling and trying it often before reducing its thickness further.
