Gas release valve won't depress

[Airsoft-Ed]

As in the title, my pistol magazines have got their gas release valve stuck down and won't pop back up.

Gas inserted through the bottom just squirts right out of the top immediately. It looks like the reset springs have popped out around the end of the button, somehow.

Is there a technique for depressing them, or do I just need to screw them out? 'Cos I don't have a special two prong-y screwdriver thing for doing it, are there any non-specialist tools for doing it as close to "properly" as possible?

Which make mags are they? I've got one of the special tools for removing hammer valves, so could sort it for you if you can't get anyone else to do it for you, provided they're the same size as TM valves.

Yeah I'd have thought they were lol.

The mags are for a TM P226, do the tools have a special name? I can't find them sold anywhere =/

Anyone link me to the tools?
