CC,
 
Look at the FAQs sticky and there is detailed information on how to disassemble the receiver and replace a T-Bar (lifter striker), as well as trigger jobs, spring replacement etc.  It is not a real tough job but spend the time studying the information and receiver and buy the right punches and tools.  Sometimes the T-bar failure is because the pin that holds the two halves together is loose and the striker is either misaligned or falls off.  Some folks have reassembled the T-bar with the original pin and returned their gun to service.  At the cost of a new T-bar I would just replace it and keep the old one for parts.

It isnt 'hard' but it is a bit 'futzy'. Cock the hammer and look inside with a bright light to see the relationship of the parts. The tricky part is the position of the spring.
