Made some progress, today. Using a couple of long, thin punches I was able to drive ("tap") the ejector rod out from the rear of the frame. Then, I was able to rotate the ejector "crane" to about 4:00 by tapping on it with the brass hammer, and after tapping it back and forth a half-dozen times, I can now rotate it by hand through its full travel. The cylinder base-pin, which has a large knurled head on it, is next . . .
