It belonged to my grandfather but I think he must have found it in the woods or his pond because it is very rusted, and nearly all of the nickel plating is gone.

I can't remove the cylinder because the pin is frozen inside of it. The pin and cylinder rotate freely in the frame. The small lever below the pin (which I assume is a pin release lever) moves freely, but only about 1/16" and does not depress flush with the front of the frame.

I think the pin should come straight out with the lever depressed, but I wanted to check before trying to tap it out from the back.

Does anyone have any hints about removing this pin? (how the lever retains the pin, is there a bushing in the cylinder, etc.)

Is there a product of choice for freeing up rusty parts?

Thanks in advance!
