YOU FIND A GOOD GUNSMITH AND PAY HIM TO CHANGE IT, THEY SCREW IN AND GUNSMITHS HAVE SPECIAL TOOLS TO SAFELY DO THIS TASK. WOULD YOU TAKE YOUR CAR TO A MAILMAN TO HAVE HIM CHANGE THE ENGINE??... PAY A PROFESSIONAL THAT HAS INSURANCE FOR THIS VERY SPECIALIZED WORK.......

I have to agree with the above. To do this without damaging the frame of the revolver, you need a device that clamps the frame in a vise without damaging it, and a special very LONG wrench that will grip the barrel. A smith will also have the knowledge of how to work a penetrating oil int the joint to break them loose, which barrels have a pin to secure them, and which ones have a left hand or right hand thread. The tools to do this right will cost several hundred dollars- and you may still wind up with the front sight on the side of the barrel.
