Well guys, this is much, much harder than it looks in the Mcorbo video. In fact, I couldn't do it. The spring is barely visible from above (the bottom) and not visible at all from the front. I gave up.
But then I thought, since that spring isn't going anywhere, why don't I just leave the adjustment screw out entirely? So I did and the trigger pull dropped from 3 3/4 pounds to 2 1/4 pounds. Screw is out of my X-Bolt and in a pill bottle. Wish it was lighter but I will live with it, put a new spring in or just bite the bullet and drop a Timney in.
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!

Trigger pull on my X-Bolt was a bit heavier than I like- I backed the adjustment screw all the way out, then put it back in with a couple of threads holding it. Tested the pull, at 3 lb. I can live with that, especially in a hunting rifle.
I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....

I had been putting off installing an M-Carbo spring in my X-Bolt, but finally got around to it last weekend. I fumbled around a bit trying to compress the factory spring and ease it out one of the holes, but that wasn't working too well. After a few minutes I watched the how-to video, and a few minutes after that I was done! Just hooked a coil of the spring with my pick, ripped it out the side and dropped the new one in the screw hole. Super easy. The new spring gives you a good bit more range, and a lower minimum pull weight.
The heavier trigger pull was about the only thing I didn't like about my X-Bolt, with that no longer a problem, I might have to pick up another.
