[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 2092386, member: 24284"] You need to remove the firing pin assembly completely! That includes the bolt shroud. Unscrew the bolt shroud out of the bolt and the firing pin comes with it. After removal, the simplest way is to use a spring compressor and slightly compress the spring enough that the pin that holds the cocking piece on shows where you can get a pin punch on it, and then drive the pin out. If you don't have the spring compressor, you're screwed. Seek professional help that has the proper tools. [/QUOTE]
