I realize this is an old thread, but it was very helpful for taking my new 905 apart. The hardest thing was getting the yoke assembly screw out even with the proper screwdriver. They had that thing practically welded in with loctite or whatever they used.

This thread keeps on breathin' and livin' . . . for all to see. :laugh:

Hi, thanks for that amazing guide. I joined just to be able to see the pictures and it was well worth it.

I wonder if you can advise me with a slight concern. In a fit of cleaning enthusiasm, I stripped the cylinder off the yoke on my .22 revolver and having put it back together there is now a little play in the cylinder along the length of the yoke. It's only a small amount but it didn't used to do this. I presume this is because the bushing is slacker now it has been removed and put back again and doesn't grip quite as tight as previously. Would that be the reason or is there more to it that that?

I wonder if I ought to take the extractor out and try and splay the lugs of the bushing further or if that would be ill advised?

Many thanks,
Paul.

Welcome to Taurus Armed, ptheta!

I imagine it is possible that the bushing that traps the cylinder did lose some tightness, yet Taurus does have to install it much like we do. Of course, they do it once and we do it at least one more time.

Regarding the cylinder play back and forth, all my revolvers do that to a degree regardless of brand. If Taurus had something inside that amounted to grease, that would dampen the feeling of play. Another thought is, if you do take the cylinder back off, you could stretch that spring out a touch to add more pressure to dampen the play.

Thank you very much for this pictorial guide. I used it to fix my wife's Taurus 85. She had an oops moment and dropped it. After that the hammer would not stay cocked. Worked fine in double action, or at least it functioned like it would. Being a broken gun I did not try to fire it. Because it is her carry gun I didn't want the hassle of sending it back to Taurus, only to wait possibly months to get it back. I won an auction that had everything except the receiver so I had any part it might need. For anyone using this guide, read it, then read it again, then read it as you disassemble the gun. Do NOT do what I did and skim over it and then disassemble the gun. I wound up not putting a pin/wire (I used a very small cotter pin) in the hammer spring mechanism, and as a result had a very hard time getting it back together. In the end it turned out to be a piece on the trigger not engaging properly. After many hours of work I finally got it back together and now it works correctly. It will be test fired soon to verify this. Again, I would not have been able to do the work on the gun without this pictorial guide. I could have taken it to a gunsmith but I wanted the experience and satisfaction of fixing it myself. Thanks again!

You can't imagine the number of tutorials and videos I just sat through that depict apparently the older design of cylinder/yoke/extractor. In that design, the cylinder slides right off the yoke. My newer?/different Rossi 972 did nothing of the sort. Dozens of videos and web pages later, I find a link to this guide, and I see how it's done (just a sharp tap).

Just acquired my first revolver. A 455 .45 acp. I have a habit of completely disassembling my new guns for kicks. This may come in handy Thanks! Well done!

Good info, broken link

Great information (I used to be a tech writer) - and all I cared about was removing the cylinder on my 605! Only problem, the PDF link at the bottom doesn't work,

 

[chicharrones]

Welcome to Taurus Armed, BCPlanner!

I just tried the PDF link on my Android phone here and the download came through nicely.

Does your device store downloads in a particular place where you have to go look for it after the download happened?

 

[Whalerman]

Really great job! Thank you.

 

[mattymilla84]

So i followed this guide to a "T" and am having issues removing my trigger. I got every other part off...the arm, the hammer and all the springs and others....it looks to me that the cylinder stop is too big for the gun and no matter how i hold the firearm or what i do to try to hold the "stop up as far as i can...it still wont fit out...any suggestion? Thanks

 

[vorgath]

So glad I found this, had no idea where the pins are supposed to go. I'm still missing the pin that goes after the spring on the back side of the trigger. I think it's the hand pin.

And the trigger return spring assembly keeps sliding down out of the little hole, so my gun has been down since yesterday

Started with let's try some Wolff springs

 

[GulickBob]

Welcome to Taurus Armed, GulickBob! You will probably have to call Taurus and talk them into sending you a spring.

Or maybe, a spring from a medium or large frame Taurus would work from Numrich. TAURUS Accessories | Numrich Gun Parts

Thank you so much for your help on this subject. I apologize for taking so long to reply. I found a local gunsmith who fixed the problem for me. Again, thank you so very much. GulickBob.

I just used this tutorial to disassemble the cylinder and yoke on my 731. good info around here.
