You started with one of the really bad 686's I've ever seen.

Yes, the hammer block should be loose, it fits over the little stud on the rebound slide. A container (or a few) to place small parts in when disassembling is the best way to go. There are lots of different plastic and metal containers that are suitable. Since a former hobby was photography, I happen to still have several 50' and 100' film cans from buying bulk film. Than, and airgun pellet tins make great parts containers for small, medium, and larger parts.
