I was following tony's youtube video....

and ....disassembled my blot...

just find it later that it is so hard to put them back on!

any ideal without special tools? ( I have the Muti-tools come with M14 with which I disassembled my bolt...)

Look for a video where a spent 30'06 case is used in the chamber to reassemble the bolt.....works the best for me for both assembly and disassembly.
 
Honestly, despite having the tools, I usually just put a spent case in a vise and assembly it handraulically using the case head to compress the springs.
 
X 3 on the used casing. I've got one chopped down to about an inch long. It still takes a few tries and make sure you do it with a clean workbench, or put some sort of box around the vice or you will be looking for parts that fly off.

I found the video


but I used a .308 , and can not make it....

Yes, the 30'06 will keep the bolt out more so you can get at it with the exctractor. 270, 25'06, any long action spent case with work. Barring that, if you have a .308 case and a spent 9mm case, stick the 9mm over the end of the .308 and it will work that way
 
There's also this one, but if you plan on doing it more often, I strongly suggest grabbing the bolt tool it will save you severe frustration.
