"I almost always remove the cylinder and yoke when I clean a S&W revolver. The yoke barrel and stud get pretty gunked up and I want those bearing surfaces clean and lightly lubed. Proper fitting screwdrivers and a little care prevent damaging the screw."

+1. I don't think you can effectively clean it without removing the cylinder. I am pretty thorough with cleaning my guns, though not so obsessive that I try to remove the burn rings at the front of the chambers!
