[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1101306, member: 10755"] The easiest and fastest way to disassemble a 700 bolt is with your lace up boots. I'm am an Aussie, don't know your coins well, but a 5c piece should fit. Take a loop of your boot laces and double tie it so it doesn't slip, put it on the rear cocking piece protrusion and pull the cocking piece back, hold it, and place your coin in the slot (right hand side on right hand bolt) on the cocking piece sleeve, relax the tension until the coin takes the strain, then simply unscrew the firing pin assembly, done. Most problems with Remington bolts, however, is gunk built up in the ejector plunger hole, cleaning this is not easy, I would soak the disassembled bolt in petroleum spirit 1-2 days, blow with compressed air until fluid runs clean. The ejector MUST move freely with finger pressure, if it doesn't, you WILL destroy the extractor eventually. I had an 80's vintage 700 that the pin holding the cocking piece to the firing pin would dislodge after 200 or so shots, it was a chore getting it back where it was supposed to be, in the end I made a new pin and moved it on, Remington here wouldn't repair it unless I paid for it.
