I think Gary means the part of the yoke that rotates to swing the cylinder out.
Pre-war K-22? Heavy Target Frame? Both?

Yeah, I managed to locate an exploded view. A picture is worth a thousand words, as they say.
Thanks!

Success!
I was able to spray some penetrating oil onto the yoke pin through the screw hole. After working it a bit and warming it a bit with a low temperature heat gun, I was able to remove the cylinder/yoke assembly.
As you can see, it was Gunk City. All surfaces have now been cleaned, polished and oiled to perfection. The gun apparently works as well now as when it was shipped. Now, to locate some SV ammo....
A huge THANK YOU to all of you for your patience and understanding with a Smith Newbie. Your willingness to share is a perfect example of what fellowship means.
However, I now seem to have another problem. I think the gun and I are becoming emotionally involved.
Thanks, again, Group!

No, I meant crane.
Glad you were able to save a few bucks not having to go to a gunsmith.

I apologize if I will appear dumb - jokes in English language of course are not my point of force - but what is "yoke" in S&W world is "crane" in Colt's one...
Seriously, THANK YOU for the terminology and the explanation! It's something that I didn't know before, and one is never too old to learn.
Thanks, again!
