Sig P320 guide rod and spring reinstall

[jf3012]

Hi,

Just received my new p320 x5 and took it apart for an initial cleaning.

Unfortunately, health issues left me with weaker hands strength and reinstalling the guide rod and recoil spring was a PITA for me.

Anybody with tips / tools / updated parts that could make my life easier in the future?

May want to look into a regular 320 slide. They use a captive spring and recoil guide vs the 1911 style guide rod of the X5. Can use the lower you have, just a different slide needed, could probably trade with someone readily as what you have is a little more desirable. Maybe not the answer you were looking for, but its an idea.
