686 Mountain Gun question

[M66 3"]

How do I remove the cylinder from the crane arm?

Meaning, the correct screw/bit etc on the screw, check.

The ejector rod has the knurled end that doesn't clear the hole.

I mean, I don't always take the cylinder off for cleaning, but on all my other modern guns, the ejector rod slides out.

Any advice?

I was wondering that myself. As usual the
Owner's Manual (Smith & Wesson Safety
& Instructional Manual) is too generic.

I to sometimes like to clean with the
cylinder off.

I'll keep watching hopefully for an answer.

Good question!
