930 waterfowl how to remove mag spring

Hey guys I have a 930 waterfowl (4+1). The only post that I could find about removing the mag spring and follower never got a good answer. The poster ended up prying the retainer out. Did Mossberg not make the retainer so that it could be removed and reinstalled?
 
If you pry it out carefully, you can certainly reinstall it but why would you want to?

As far as I can see, it only allows you to remove the barrel without having to deal with the magazine spring and follower. It also prevents you from inspecting and cleaning the spring, follower and inside the mag tube.

If you buy one of the 930s that have a magazine extension, there is no retainer and it causes zero problems.
 
Got it out. Guess I thought it would be more difficult and was concerned about damaging the mag tube during the prying. Thanks for your reply
