look 4 Savage Lakefield Mark #1 bolt action
After the bolt is removed from the gun using prior instructions about bolt removal,you will first drive out the pin that you see going through the side of the rear part of the bolt.After the pin is removed,pull the bolt apart,you will be pulling against an internal spring.When you see enough of the rod where the front and rear bolt portions are coming apart clamp,not too tightly a small pair of vice grips onto the exposed rod.Now clamp a pair of vice grips onto the rear of the bolt on the knurled portion.Rock both vice grips opposite directions while pulling bolt apart and rod will come out of rear bolt portion.Now you are left with the front bolt portion which contains a special nut,a spring,and a firing pin.If you look carefully around the rod as in enters the front bolt portion you will notice a tiny notch on each side.You will have to make a tool that resembles a screwdriver with a piece of steel tubing for a shaft with two prongs on it to engage the two notches on the special nut.Unscrew the nut and the nut,rod and spring will come out.Now to remove the firing pin,drive in the tiny pin that holds it in place,or what I do is drive the firing pin into the bolt from the front and this shears the very tiny pin and I replace it with another.Use a finishing nail or what ever works for you.I used a tool mechanics used to remove the points on old Chevrolet distributors and modified it with a dremel tool to use on the special nut.
