Why hasn't any of the vendors chimed in on the direction? I've read both L to R and vice versa...it would be nice to know which direction is the correct way.

since its an Armorers DVD i'd assume he's right... in fact most pins iirc have to be removed from left to right.

You do indeed remove them left to right. Reverse for installation.

If you look closely at your firearm, there is an alignment mark in the front and rear sight groove immediately to the left of the sight base. Your sight is pushed in from the right until it meets this mark.

Use a Dremel to cut them out if necessary.

My mistake. I did reverse direction when installing the sights.

Which way are you looking at the gun? From the muzzle end or from the drivers view? It makes a big difference.
