Hey Cpt. The raging bulls are a real B. It is best left to a gunsmith. If you look under the ejector star you will see a small collar around the rod. I had a guy bring me one and if I remember correctly that collar locks in to the barrel of the yoke. I believe I had to remove the ejector rod first, to slide the yoke out of the cylinder and frame. It's been some time since I had to work on one. This probably didn't help much.

Have you ever experienced the ejector sticking partly out, and not going back flush with the cylinder? That was the problem this guy had. I got the thing apart, cleaned and reassembled, but with the heavy loads it kept doing the same thing. We ended up sending it in for warranty work.

Good Luck.
