The method of removing the hammer involves removing the mainspring and, again the stocks should come off . . . does it seem to be a theme? Loosening the tension screw on the front bottom of the butt=frame will relieve the tension on the spring, allowing it to be removed from the small stirrup at the rear of the hammer. Once that is done, you can retract the hand from the slot in the frame and pull the trigger to the rear and the hammer should come out. Every gun I work on involves taking pictures as I disassemble the mechanism in case something falls out or off. Once the hammer is out, you can use either of the products you mention and a toothbrush to loosen the crud and continue to spray and scrub until clean. Barricade or other synthetic oil can be then sprayed on the internals and the revolver is ready for reassembly.
