Taurus 22 mag revolver cylinder probs

"inherited" a 4" barrel stainless steel Taurus 22 mag (8 shot, the model 941?) that's positively stunning.
Here's the problem: I can hardly get the cylinder to unlatch and roll out of the frame. Practically takes an act of Congress and a strong mule to get it to flip out. Everything looks good from what I can tell, seems well lubricated, I'm at a loss (because I'm lazy and stupid.)
Any advice?

I agree, start with these, and check any other detents for sticky travel, too. 'Specially if the former owner used WD-40 on it, that stuff turns into yellow glue if it sits for any length of time
I have one of the 941's too, I really like it.
I have 3 Tauruses (Tauri ??? LOL ) and they all are notorious for the ejector rod wanting to unscrew.... I have also had issued with the detent pin that locks the cylinder, sticking in one gun. I had to polish it a bit.
It was just unscrewed. Had a hell of a time getting it back together because the threads on the rod are left hand threads.
File that for future reference.
