Friend has this little pocket revolver in 32 s&w. He never could strip the gun for cleaning. The center pin didn't want to come out.

I gave it a crack. The revolver is in good condition but dirty. Perhaps it hasn't never been stripped for cleaning since it was bought long ago. I managed to disassemble everything, except the center pin. It feels it has been fused solid with the cylinder. Weeks of soaking in kroil has produced no effect. It is still royally stuck as on day one.

Your suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
