I got in a new ejector rod for my Model 10-6 as the original one is bent only to find I still need the ejector rod collar. I looked in Kuhnhausen’s shop manual but I don’t find any mention of how the collar is installed on the ejector rod. Is this a press fit item? Any tricks on how to install it when the new collar comes in? Thanks.
K-frame ejector rod collar on the ejector rod?

Are you talking about something like this? Aristocrat Products - Competition Proven Products
Yup, that’s the part and I have a couple (2 is 1 and 1 is none) factory ones on the way but even this site doesn’t say hot they are attached to the ejector rod. The site just says to “remove the old collar from the ejector rod.” Okay, and how do I do that? Are they held on by something like red lock-tite or is it press fit onto the rod? That’s what I am having trouble finding out.

You will understand more how it fits after you take yours apart. No loctite or press required. It just slides on the extractor rod.

The collar simply slips over the ejector rod threads with the large end facing forward.
Put the ejector in the cylinder.
Insert the center pin into the ejector shaft.
Put the ejector spring in the cylinder over the ejector shaft, then screw the ejector rod in.
Before tightening the ejector rod, put three empty cases in the cylinder to support the ejector shaft.

Thank you very much! Apparently mine was just stuck on there pretty tight. I managed to get it off by putting an old square nut I had in the shop in the bench vise to support the collar and then using some gentle taps with a nylon faced hammer was able to coax it off without damaging the rod either. That’s going to be my lab rat in trying to restraighten it and keep it as a spare. As tight as that collar was though, I figured there must have been more to then it was. Thanks again.
