Not sure what you mean buy "barrel", but on every pump I've done, I remove the splined DV holder (which has the o-ring), the copper seal (replace), the spring (replace), and usually the part immediately below the spring, because it likes to come out with the spring. Never had any problems with

You won't have any trouble so long as you don't do anything but remove the splined holder and replace the o-ring and copper seal. Leave everything else alone, making sure you put the spring where it belongs if it sticks in the holder and comes out. NEVER move the barrel, there is no reason
