Dudley:
One must learn in steps, I suppose. To get the reset rod out, the ferrule must come out first. This is because it intersects a flat on the rod which holds the rod in place. Remove the ferrule, and the rod will slide out forward (dirt permitting).
But... to remove the ferrule, you must grind a screwdriver to fit the notches in its top precisely. It cannot be too wide or you will turn up wood. It cannot be a sloppy fit in the notches or it will bugger them.
Chances are the ferrule will only turn up so far as the threads will carry it -- about 1/4 inch. Then it will have to be tapped out from below with a small punch.
With the ferrule out, the rod should come out toward the muzzle of the gun. Be careful to reinsert it the same way. Some are tapered on the transfer bar side, so that end must be kept to the butt.
Otherwise, it's not a complicated operation.
Best, Kensal
