Flintlock lock disassembly

[pooch156]

I'm semi new to flintlocks, so looking for some help. I bought a new lock, an L&R. It looks new, my gun doesnt. I've gotten good using Laurel Mtn Barrel Brown and know I can color it right. But I need to semi disassemble the lock. I've never done this. I've done a few things(frizzen and frizzen spring replacement, etc.) I need to take the hammer, frizzen and frizzen spring off. Anticipating this, I bought the best mainspring vise I could find at Friendship, from Jim Chambers.

Can someone give me a step by step on how I SHOULD go about taking the hammer off? Before I screw something up?

I make use of my phone camera and take pictures of my lock when assembled and as I take each individual part off. Pictures are a good thing!

Hopefully in the last 2 years, @Ben Meyer was able to remove the hammer from his lock.

Look at the lock disassembly video provided by @Tumbler.

He is taking the hammer off a back action lock at around 9 minutes, but the process to remove the hammer is identical percussion back action lock or an L&R flint lock
