I have a 53 model CZ52 and the slide lock spring keep coming off the top of the slide release and when a loaded mag is inserted and the slide pulled back the slide lock won't jump down to release the slide. I have had the weapon field stripped and I see the problem but the spring also acts as a detent for the safety. Can anyone give me advice in how to replace the spring the easiest way? Is a complete disassemble required to replace the spring?
