Well, I’m stumped with my new to me used early 686 6” extractor rod. Were they loc tited? or torqued ?. This thing will not unscrew as 99% of the 100’s of other S&W’s I’ve disassembled over the years. No, I do not have the clamp tool and 2 cylinder sized pin wrench but guess I have 2 options, buy tools or take the crane/ cylinder assembly to local smith? Used to fill cylinders with 4 cases, stick 2 wood dowels through 2 cylinders, hold end with vice grip over piece of thick leather and unscrew using a pry bar between wooden dowels. That will be my last resort. Will have to find wooden dowels……..
