I didn't bother watching the video (How To Easily Install A New Mag Release Button), now I do need some help getting the mag release back in. I'm kinda using the same Q-tip type method (to hold spring in place) that I used to get the grip safety back in. This time, I'm using a very thin nail to hold the mag release spring into the magazine catch. I've place very small pieces of scotch tape over each of the two hole on the magazine catch to ensure the nail doesn't come out until I puch the pin back through.

Anyone know of a video or other info to help get it back in?

Thanks.

I have done this a couple of times on both of the XD's and have found if you remove the pin just a little to far then it becomes very difficult to reinstall.If you do I have found removing the locking block assy helps to give you more room to work.
