To answer your question on how to disassemble the cylinder. You have to first loosen or remove the lower front side plate screw. Then put the gun into a large ziplock bag and remove the trigger guard screw. Be careful, because there is a very small spring and pin that locks the yoke. Make sure you catch those in the bag. You should then be able to pull the cylinder and yoke forward and out of the frame for cleaning. Although you could remove the ejector rod and star, you shouldn't need to. Doing that is more complicated and requires some special tools. If it is really dirty behind the ejector star, I suggest either soaking it in gun cleaner for a while then brushing it clean or blasting it with Winchester Gun Wash or brake cleaner.
