You should use drop trigger (For all 3 triggers - remember to quote the
name too, because it's mixed case) rather than deleting directly from
pg_trigger.

If you're already in the state where pg_class has the wrong number of
triggers, you should probably be able to correct this using a varient
of the reenable triggers code pg_dump gives for data only dumps.
