The trigger wont come off the trigger stud on my Model 10. And I took the hand off, so the hand spring needs to be reset. Pain in the ass trying to do it with the trigger in the frame. 3 hours and no result. Im hoping I can just pay someone $40 to do it when the shops open again.
Soak in AeroKroil for a few hours but be careful with leaving it set puddled on external finish too long (over night), It will remove blueing.
Kroil has been a miracle worker for me many times.
Prying will break the stud and then it’s really gunsmith time. Maybe slip feeler gauges between trigger and frame to help with upward pressure.
As a last resort I would try a little heat on the trigger with either a soldering iron or a small butane torch.
Good luck!

I've used small picks to reset the spring without removing the trigger. Real PIA but can be done with finegaling.
