The Midway YouTube video covers it very well. It is also covered in the sticky at the top of this section.

Midway video

It is easy to do. You do know which way the threads are on your K-22 correct (right hand versus left hand threads).

I do know about the threads,in fact I have another Smith that screws the opposite way as well. My cylinder only has movement to the rear,the forward movement is gone. I have been shooting this gun since the middle eighties problem free so I guess a little maintainence is in order.

Thanks for your reply
