Are you sure the serial number is 14693, and not 146930. 14693 would be a porkchop gun and there is no crane lock. The cylinder assembly slides off when the shroud is taken off. You must have a 15-2. A new crane lock may need to be flattened on the sides to fit in the little groove on the crane. Rub it on a stone until it fits.
Models 11, 12, 14, and 15 (38 Special 8 and 9 too) have a flange on the shroud that looks like a porkchop bone. The flange has a dimple on it that fits on a bump on the frame to align the sight on the muzzle with the rear sight. The later 14-2 and 15-2 have no flange on the shroud and the shroud is located by a hole in the frame end of the shroud that fits over a roll pin in the frame. To remove the cylinder requires the sideplate to be removed.
