Absolutely what I needed. Its a shame the factory doesn't have instructions this clear.
It is done in the same way I used to write technical manuals, the engineers hated it, the user loved it.

Hi guys. How do I get the sideplate off of the new 992 revolver? I don't see a way to tap the side plate from the backside (no hole). I was affraid to try to pry the sideplate up. It looks like a very close fit-small gaps. What am I missing?

Thanks,

jimbo

Here is one option. Use a plastic faced hammer. Look at the video around 2:40.

Being foolish, I decided to disassemble my Dad's older 85 without a manual. Pieces went flying. I was able to recover some of the parts. Dad's revolver appears to be slightly different from yours. The extractor rod is hollow and a steel rod extends through the cylinder and contacts the frame. I found a fairly large spring that applies pressure to the extractor, but their seems to be nothing to hold the small rod firm against the frame when the cylinder is closed. Does anyone have any pictures of an older 85 with the cylinder disassembled?

Excellent post!

I might make one suggestion. Use three or four fired cases inserted far enough into the chambers to provide support for the ejector star when you unscrew the ejector rod. You can actually purchase a wrench designed for the same purpose.

Good point, sionaprhys! I edited the text to mention that. :thumb:

I've replaced hammer springs on two of my Taurus revolvers, as well as my S&W. HOWEVER, the hammer spring capture bracket is quite different on the Protector Poly. Is there a way to replace the spring without taking the side plate off?

 

[chicharrones]

I don't have the poly version of the Taurus revolver. From looking at the manual http://www.taurususa.com/pdf/polymer_revolvers.pdf it does look like the grip frame has to be removed from the cylinder/barrel frame.

Fantastic!

-Thanks; this really helps with my sister's 85 CH. Even she can follow the pictures...
-Just kidding. She's a smart lady and a convert to belief in the 2nd Amendment after the crime rate in her area went up.
