Ok I tried replacing the hammer spring in my cz-52. I took the old one out and can't seem to get the new one in. Does anyone know an easy way to do this? The spring is longer then the one that was in it. and it is hard to compress and get the mag release in position. Is there any specific tool that would help with this? I was using pliers. thank you.

The short answer is- there is no EASY way. If you can, clamp the gun in a gun vise, as that will make it a bit easier, you really need both hands. If you don't have a vise, invite a friend over for beers and have them help you out with a second set of hands, that is how I have done it in the past, and I bbelieve that I was using a pliers as well.
