Stevens .410 bolt dissasembly

[weaselsrippedmyflesh]

I was wondering if anyone had any advice on taking apart a bolt from a model 59 .410 shotgun It has a snap ring that looks tricky to remove. Does it need a goofy tool. Any insights into this, and the proper way to remove the extractors would be much appreciated.

I am waiting on parts to replace the bolt head stop plunger and spring on my 59A. To remove the bolt halves there is a cross pin to push out on the front half. This probably doesn't help you much with what you are doing. I found the schematic on Numerichs website.

The pin on the front half of mine appears to be welded in or something. Let me know if you get yours apart. Thanks.
