If the 1858 Remington is timed properly, it should be no problem popping the cylinder in or out without needing the gated version. I have two Remmies that have the earlier six shot Taylors 45 Colt conversion cylinder in them.
Place the hammer at half cock, so the bolt is completely withdrawn into the cylinder. Then roll the cylinder (can't remember which way right now) while removing it or inserting it. Rolled the correct direction, the ratchet teeth at the rear of the cylinder will push the hand into the frame, making removal and insertion easy. If you don't roll the cylinder, it can hang up on the hand.
