Taurus Old Model 66 Disassembly/Reassembly | Spring Change | Parts Change

[@jimmyginseng]

Just picked up the same model. Thank you for the full breakdown. I have springs coming in the mail for hammer and trigger.

[@Bowman520]

Nice. If you need any help when you get the springs, just let me know. Good luck with it and thanks for watching.

@@Bowman520 I do have a question. Does the yoke just slide off or is there something special. And the ejector rod on mine doesn’t seem to want to unscrew. Any advice on how to get that loose?

[@Bowman520]

@@jimmyginseng To get the yolk assembly off make sure to take the front side plate screw off...otherwise it won't come off. For the extractor rod, make sure that you are turning it the right way. It's like propane, so the threading is backwards. You could hit it with a little CLP and let it sit for a bit, if it's too tough. Let me know if you get it or not.

@@Bowman520 so I removed the cylinder and yoke from the gun but it still won’t slide off the extractor rod like yours did in the video. I do remember the reverse threading for the extractor rod because it’s the same on my smith n Wesson. But it’s pretty stuck on there lol. I’ll hit it with some more Lucas oil and let it sit for a while. Hopefully I get it figured out. Appreciate the suggestions.

@@jimmyginseng Alright, probably just years of gunk on there. My cylinder barely spun until I did a good cleaning on it. Let me know how it goes.

Great video man. Are you continuing with more courses? I decided that I will. I start on the 9th of Sept. For associates in gunsmithing.

[@Bowman520]

Hey Keith, good to see you man. Still waiting to see if I can get the GI Bill extended. If so, prob the Gunsmithing Cert. Spent some money on AGI Disks, but pretty much a waste.

Turned the music down a bit for you guys that don't like it.
