Any dis-assembly hints would be appreciated. It is a model 37 (no dash). I have gotten the barrel pin out.--Thanx "Lever actions, contenders, pointing dogs and doo-wop music."

Brownell's sells the proper nylon blocks to support the frame, I made my action wrench out of a couple pieces of oak and some carriage bolts with wing nuts. DO NOT stick a hammer handle thru the frame like some bubbasmiths do or you risk springing the frame.
