On my first two outings to test my used 686, I had it bind up after the first shot of every load. I had cleaned it even harder between these outings, scrubbing out the previous owner's fouling from each chamber and completely cleaning the cylinder face and the face of the forcing cone. My searches here suggest it's a loose extractor rod, which is left-hand threaded I believe. They say to apply some blue loctite and retighten it. With a piece of rubber tube and some pliers, I cannot even loosen the rod. How do I crack this particular nut?
