On the back end there is a bolt assembly screw you screw out and a cocking piece pin you remove.The bolt assembly screw is at the very back of the bolt and the cocking piece pin comes out the side.It is fairly large. On the front end there is a bolt head retaining pin you drive out to remove the bolt head.It is just behind the bolt head in the bolt body. The extractor slides in to release a ball and spring.The ejector has a retaining pin you drive out.It is very simple to completely disassemble and reassemble these bolts.Just watch for parts that might get away from you.A small vise or a pair of vice grips clamped on the bolt body and then clamped in a vice will free up one hand so things dont get away.The extractor is bronze so if it gets away a magnet wont find it.I would like to sugest to people doing their own gun repairs or cleaning to purchase a Numrich catalouge for about $25.to $30. as they have a lot of drawings on numerous guns including H&K,SKS,AK and such.Besides they have the parts listed and priced.A very helpful book. sam.

Samuel is right on the money It very simple. Two words of caution. That little detent ball likes to become air borne.So remove slowly. Secondly.DO NOT adjust any thing on the foring pin itself. It is factory set. And adjustment of the spring nuts will change the firing pin protrusion.DONT DO THAT! It is an adjustment that should only be performed by a qualified gunsmith.
