One the right side of the revolver frame there is a screw right under the cylinder. You remove that screw with a proper fitting screw driver and then swing out the cylinder and slide it forward out of the frame. Once it's out remove the crane assembly by sliding it forward and you will have just the cylinder.

as noted by fyimo, use a proper sized screwdriver or you will bugger the screw and maybe scratch the frame, then you'll be mad.

As a Safety precaution i always put Masking Tape around the screws, so in case the screw driver slips it won't scratch up the gun.
