On the back (spine) of the mag, at the bottom just above the floor plate there is an oval shaped hole. Push a nail or something into it. That will release the floor plate.

Use something small to push in the back end of the floorplate catch. (small oval shaped hole at the back bottom end) Hinge the floorplate down until you can remove it entirely, careful to control the spring. Remove spring and follower, clean til your heart's content!

Back side of the mag, at the bottom there's a small opening. Push on the spring through that opening and the bottom of the mag should hinge off.

It'll probably take 3 hands to do. Careful. The whole thing's under spring pressure (really? no ####! )
