It is possible to access and replace the trigger without having to disconnect any of the cables. I have done this with 3 controllers already.
Just ignore the steps saying to disconnect the cable, move parts to the side and be careful.
No disassembly fix for a broken spring: Sling a rubber band under the trigger.
