It works by just moving your spy into the province. Only your highest valour spy in the province counts, and I believe the effect is 40% + 20% per star, so you should have seen an 80% drop. Buildings and tax policy counter this of course, and it's possible the AI put one of his own spies in the province to counter the effect (counterspy uses the same formula to raise the happiness).

Assassins work quicker, I believe but that disbanding trick seems to me the most efficient way. Actually, inquisitions from the enemy seem to do the best job of all getting rid of flawed generals (it seems so, anyway). I use a lot of spies but mainly in defense - to combat enemy assassins.

Assassins don't cause rebellions which I had in mind. Well, it seems that spies don't either (in my case didn't).

They (assassins) might be able to - if an assassin fails, it will say something like, "even though the origin is unknown, the general is suspicious" which may mean lower loyalty. Also, I THINK that for a rebellion to happen, it needs a leader with both low loyalty and high dread. One of the spy warning messages mentions this.

I meant not the garrison rebelling but appearance of rebels in the province that will oppose the loyal garrison. Assassins can't turn the PROVINCE disloyal.
