You can remove the reverse plug and take the outer spring off. The inner spring appears to captive and there does not seem to be an easy way to get it apart and still be able to put it back together again. Both the outer spring and the inner spring can be cleaned. The outer spring can be replaced and should be an inexpensive piece. I expect the inner spring and guide rod assembly would be more expensive. I am not sure what the Kimber recommend maintenance practice is this inner spring.
