How to separate the yolk from the cylinder on a Model 327

[imightbearobot?]

Cylinder and yoke have been a little sticky as a result of shooting a lot of magnum loads recently. I cannot get the yolk to separate from the cylinder like it occurs on my older guns, ejector rod doesn't appear to be bent in any way. How does the yoke separate?

You didn't specify which M327 you have but on my M327TRR8 once you remove the yoke & cylinder, as a pair, the cylinder slips off.

You said your's is sticky (turning the cylinder?). I've had a similar situation that required some twisting & pulling to get the cylinder off of the yoke's barrel because of excess carbon build-up on the yoke's barrel.

You might need to spray some lube to help get it softened up & off but once you've cleaned the yoke's barrel, with some fine Scotchbrite, wipe off any lube left. That'll only allow it to get sticky sooner if left on.

PS: You might want/need to clean the inside of the cylinder's tunnel (for the yoke barrel). A bronze cleaning brush for a .38/.357 fits nicely & cleans out any carbon residue in it.

Howdy,

I can only get about a quarter inch of movement of the yoke away from the face of the cylinder. Seems to be hitting a wall of some sort and refuses to go any further. Any ideas?

How to separate the yolk? Don't spill egg on it in the first place.

Yoke is on you.

I would soak the assembly in solvent for a while, overnight at least, then give it a try.

Turn the cylinder on the flutes as it's coming out. The space between the flutes on the cylinder will hit the little ledge on the front of the revolver.
