I should have added this for the OP. Sounds like the mainspring is out? IF you have the mainspring out, and you do not own a mainspring vice, you have a problem. The Kibler mainspring are very strong and they are also fiddley to get back in. You need a mainspring vice. IF you try to use pliers it will probably slip, break in two and the pieces will fly with force. A real gunsmith may have a mainspring vice. Good luck.
