How does one install the cylinder in a Sentinel R-101? It seems as if the "link pivot pin" (PN #7140) is spring-loaded and should be depressed to allow the "crane assembly" (PN #7157) to fit into the frame, but the pin doesn't depress easily and asking for advice seemed like a better idea than trying to force it.

I hope I'm using these terms (from the parts list) correctly. What I'm calling the "link pivot pin" is like an axle around which the cylinder pivots when it is swung open. Although it may be obvious... I'm not experienced with handguns.
