Tanfoglio bta90 9mm guide rod

[Deadman4827]

Hey all I just bought this tanfoglio bta90 9mm and I'm currently in the process of disassembly but the guide rod is caught on the barrel and no matter what I do I can't get it to come out. Am I doing something wrong or is it just stubborn?

Should not be a problem at all.     Wonder if someone Red-Loctited it in?  Wonder if someone made a Guide Rod for it that does not fit well?

With the Slide Assembly removed from the Frame, place the Slide Assembly bottom side up, on a flat non-marring surface, such as a Work Mat.

Hold onto the rear of the Slide with one hand, and with the other, press the rear of the Guide Ros slightly, lift up slightly and to the Rear and the Guide Rod and Spring should EASILY come out.

IF that does not work, then soak the Slide Assembly in Kerosene or some other penetrating solvent that won't harm the Finish, for about a Week.

I have both Full Size and Compact Series 88 BTA90's, and they've been Great Pistols!
