Default Loose Ejector Rod - Will Not Open

I have a Model 19 that will not open. It appears that the cylinder latch works fine, but that the ejector rod has come loose and is binding inside the barrel shroud. I cannot get the cylinder to swing out with a reasonable amount of force, and don't want to push it too hard.

I know that I have seen a post or video online about how to tighten the ejector rod without screwing up the finish. Can anybody point me in the right direction or offer advice? Thanks.

Disregard. I solved my own problem after reading several threads on a similar topic. I was trying to tighten it with my thumb but in the wrong direction. I went the other way and it worked. Thanks.
