Danny, give this thread a look-see. It should tell you most of what you need to know to disassemble a Mosin:

As far as dealing with the barrel bands and the barrel band springs, Louie, the Mosin Kahuna at my gun club, suggests having someone use a pair of channel lock piers to depress them while you use a wooden dowel and a mallet to tap them on alternate sides and 'walk' them past the springs.

Congrats on the new Mosin! Usually the band springs aren't that strong, and you can depress them with the combi tool in your cleaning kit (if you got one). For really tough ones follow Cyr's advice. Also, make sure you remove the extractor from the bolt head, and clean it real good! Then you shouldn't have to remove it again.
