center

I do not like the spring to center for my P3 controller. I've seen complicated videos on how to remove the springs, but was wondering if anyone knew another easier way to get this done? Thanks.

So the other day my gimbal freaked out mid-flight (unfortunately I wasn't recording so I don't have any video of this) and now it won't return to center. I have tried to reset to factory settings, and I've also done the IMU calibration- nothing helps. I can manually pull the gimbal to center...
