The P-32 Assembly Trick
The presence of a hammer block adds a unique step to assembly of the P32. Shown below is the hammer block within the grip. Examining the hammer block, you will notice that half of it is recessed. This recess makes a perfect place to push back the hammer block with a small hex wrench or any other rigid small diameter rod.(the red line indicates the spot you will need to push during assembly)

Assemble the trigger bar, hammer, and slide stop as usual and set the frame in the grip. Do not hook the hammer spring yet. You will notice that something keeps the rear from going all the way down, this is the hammer block. Raise the rear of the frame up about 1/4 inch. Push the top of the hammer fully forward. Using a small hex wrench (or similar) press the hammer block in where the red line indicates in the picture. Next, press the frame down onto the hex wrench sandwiching it between the frame and the grip, then slide out the hex key and press the frame on down into the grip. Now simply continue assembling as usual.
