Stuck .22 cal brass case in Colt Frontier scout circa 1960...cylinder rod removed and unable to remove cylinder...

I'm not sure what you're doing to get your towels hard enough to knock a stuck case free and I'm pretty sure I don't want to find out.

Damn autocorrect.

remove the ejector rod, if possible. if the cylinder with tthe stuck case is lined up with the ejector rod hole, with a long rod gently tap stuck case out.

cylinder will not rotate without cylinder rod; and cylinder rod will not completely enter frame; hammer will not half cock in any manner or form. yuk!

Sounds like the cylinder is twisted in the frame window and jammed up. You could try putting it in the freezer overnight, that might get the metal to contract enough to free things up
I would leave the hammer alone until I got the cylinder base pin back in

i don't know about colt but on my ruger you can remove EJECTOR ROD by removing 1 screw

 

[fredoesway]

2 different parts cylinder PIN/ROD, EJECTOR ROD. i assume we are talking about single action here, am i wrong? can you look down the bore? is the stuck case lined up with the bore or with the ejector rod hole?

 

[fredoesway]

on my ruger you can see with a bright light inside 5 of the 6 cylinders and you can see the 6th cylinder through the bore with a bore light without taking the gun apart, so where is the stuck case?

You can do it!.
