I know a Nelspot frame is keyed into its tray, but is there some trick to getting these things apart? I've undone the screw(s) but they're not budging. Do I need to use a mallet, and if so in which direction does one whack?

Iirc trigger pin has to come out too....and an internal screw -
From there, it should just be the spring roll pin above the trigger. There are two wings that saddle the trigger plate inside that hold it all together.Comment

I cut my roll pin so I wouldn't have to punch it out every time. Not sure if it was that length as an oversight or if it was because they were worried about the frame bending under pressure. Seems to be fine so far.Comment

Thanks, everyone! The parts did indeed come apart as soon as the trigger rollpin was punched out.
I was doing this because I recently acquired a frame/tray in much better cosmetic shape than the one I had, with both the warning label and the shiny "007" sticker. Sadly, the new frame didn't have the cartridge lifter/screw, and not only would the lifter/screw not come out of my existing frame but the threads for these parts seemed different for the two frames. Also, the new "good" frame secures to its tray with two screws (and the roll pin) whereas the my older frame only attached to its tray with one.
This didn't seem to be an issue, but I did find that the location of the rollpin hole on the old frame and new tray were ever so slightly misaligned, to where the pin wouldn't go through. I really wanted this to work so I went ahead and just drilled through them and everything seems to be working now and the pin is still nice and tight.
