Ruger Cylinder Release Button Removal/Replacement?

[Blue Brick]

Is it possible to remove the Cylinder Release Button without being a gunsmith?

 

[rcmodel]

Yes.
As long as you use two gunsmith screwdrivers.

You will have to file or grind a notch in one screwdriver blade with a Dremel cut-off wheel to clear the screw in the center of the left cap nut.

See this about that, about halfway down the page:

Use Blue Lock-Tight on the threads when you put it back together or it will fall apart and you will loose it in the weeds.

I am sorry; I forget to add the Model name- Removal on a Service Six

 

[rcmodel]

Oh!
Nevermind!

You should be able to remove the cylinder release after you remove the trigger group from the frame, following standard cleaning procedures outlined in the owners manual.

There should be a screw accessible from inside the bottom of the frame that holds the latch, spring, and plunger in place.

There is a screw under the Cylinder Release Button on the outside, is that it?

 

[rcmodel]

Yes probably. I thought it was inside the frame with the trigger group out, but maybe not.
Look at part #KE-27 in the schematic in the owners manual on page 12.
