I agree....also you should remove the mainspring before you remove the sideplate,(never pull trigger with sideplate off, unless mainspring is removed). and you should not use a hammer to put the sideplate on.(thumb pressure only).

I think J frames won't allow the coiled mainspring to be extracted unless the sideplate is removed - not enough room to wiggle it out. Not 100% on that, it's been a while since I've done it.
So far as the plate, I have a very soft rubber handled screwdriver and although I put on the plate mostly by hand I give a few seating "taps" to finish.
