Fuse = Safety lever???

Yes, it can be done without removing anything from lower (except grips). I use an aluminum block under the front & rear frame straps and a steel bar inside the magazine well, with another aluminum block to press against the steel bar. That raises the frame up high enough to clear the safety lever. Careful placement clears the magazine button and safety bar as well.

But there are many ways to change out the mainspring. I have read here that some members hold the frame in their hands and change it out, using Jim's tool. They mention pressing it against a table. I am not that strong.
