I've replaced the trigger on one of my 788s. It's as easy as removing two pins holding in the old trigger, placing the new one, and replacing those two pins.
I did need to relieve just a bit of the stock on the right side for the new safety. Check it carefully. It may be only one of the pins that you need to relieve for.
The old trigger can be modified to reduce the pull. It involves drilling a hole and installing a lighter trigger return spring. You only get one shot at that. But used factory triggers are usually available on EBay for about 1/2 the price of the Timney. But then, they are less than half as good.
