Ejector replacement

[trip casson]

When removing the ejector pin from bolt do you punch out from bottom{solid}  or top [open}

You mean the extractor? If so, it goes from the top down. Use a 1/16" punch. It's a half blind pin so be careful pushing it out. Angle the top of the pin rearward like you're pushing forward while hitting the punch. I also leave the bolt fully assembled while doing this, the bolt body and locking head pin act like a vise to hold the locking head still while it's being hit. The act of doing this will bend the punch slightly so use a quality punch like Starrett. The cheap ones may break off in it while it's in there.

Benelligunny is right on all marks. I use a curved 1/16 punch for this task. It’s one of the Brownells punches with the nipple on the tip. These punches are consumable but tend to last a while unless you’re rough on it.

 

Pay attention to where the spring is before you disassemble.
