Disassembly / Cylinder replacement Instructions
There are no tools or "tricks" required to do this. It is actually much easier than the directions seem. This entire procedure can be done in just a few moments.
Twist rod under barrel, and pull towards the muzzle until it stops. The rod will not come all of the way out of the firearm. (Figure 1)

Please note that there is a spring loaded bushing in the cylinder itself. Simply depress this bushing slightly while twisting and it will pop up when the index marks line up. (Figure 5)

Remove the busing and spring. (Figure 6)

Note: All of the parts you removed (2 bushings and 1 spring) are required to install the .32ACP cylinder!
To install the new cylinder, just reverse the procedure.
If you are not sure about anything, please have your firearm checked by a qualified gunsmith before firing.
