Start with a goodscrewdriver that fits the screw heads.

1) Remove grips.
2) Remove three screws for sideplate. The foremost screw secures the cylinder and yoke. Set this screw aside as you don't want to confuse it with another screw.
3) Using the handle of a hammer or a soft hammer, rap on the grip frame to "rattle" the sideplate off. The hammer block can be picked up and set aside.
4) Loosen the screw for the hammer spring (located on the front strap of the frame ). You can unhook the hammer spring from the stirrup and remove it.
5) You can use a flat bladed screwdriver to push the rebound slide spring in and lift it up from the pin. The rebound slide and slide spring can now be removed.
6) Cock the hammer and pull the trigger back. You should be able to disengage the hammer from the frame and lift it out.

You do not need to remove the cylinder from the gun.
Reassemble in the reverse order.

If you need more help let me know.
