benelliwerkes Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 (edited) Just drive the retaining roll pin out and be ready to capture the extractor and its spring. Edited December 3, 2011 by benelliwerkes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unobtanium Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 From what I remember, you need to use a thin punch and be prepared for it to bend in the process, also, it is an awkward setup (blind hole). You screw the end of that roll-pin up, it's staying in. Be smart with it. How many rounds/why are you replacing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I believe he said in another thread the CS was sending him an entire new bolt head, so he should be GTG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benelliwerkes Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Here's the style punch modification you need to remove the extractor retaining pin.....replacing it use a proper-sized roll pin punch as there are no obstacles to driving the pin in to the bolt to install the extractor. The one illustrated is a modified Brownell hardened punch tip, but any hard punch will do. [ATTACH=CONFIG]1117[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysbeII Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) do you push out the extractor spring from the top of the locking bolt head or bottom? Im having a very difficult time getting the pin out. Edited December 12, 2011 by mysbeII added to post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benelliwerkes Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 No one said it was easy ! The extractor has a hole in it, thru which passes the roll pin; the extractor spring is held in place by the back edge of the extractor internally. Remove the pin, the extractor and its spring will be liberated. The difficulty is that the pin has to be removed from top to bottom of the bolt head, as there is obviously insufficient clearance for the roll pin to exit the top of the bolt. A modified pin punch will be required as only ~ 30 % of the top of the roll pin circumference is available to make contact with any punch surface. The removal is facilitated by securing the bolt head in a padded vise to assure that all the force of the punch tip is transferred to the roll pin to initially "get it moving"; if you attempt it on a soft table top etc, the force will be absorbed by the platform the bolt is resting on. The factory probably has a special XYZ tip fitted to a hydraulic arbor press to spit that pin right out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The punch DID bend a good bit, so make sure it is sacrificial, but a special punch is not "mandatory". Just very helpful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishwater Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 can you reuse the extractor retaining pin, or does it have to be replaced with a new one? wasn't sure if it was sacrificial. i have a new spring, but i didn't order a new retaining pin. i don't want to drive the old pin out and not be able to reuse it w/o having a new one if necessary.
