SammyG Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 How do I remove pin holding the bolt release button? Do you tap from bottom up or top down? Seems to be stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remarkable Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 The Carrier Latch Pin should be driven out with a pin punch from top to bottom, then reseated from bottom to top with a roll pin punch, taking great care to align the mounting hole in the Carrier Latch not to crush it. Care will need to be taken not to reinsert the pin to far to interfere with the bolt and it's travel. Please PM me if you would like more detail.

SammyG Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 I attempted to punch from top down with no success using a 1/16 punch. Had limited success from bottom to top but could not pull pin completely out so ultimately re seated it as it belongs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SammyG Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 Is it necessary to press in the button while removing the pin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remarkable Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 No need to press the bolt release however you can take some pressure off the Carrier Latch by reaching into the receiver and applying outside for to the Carrier Latch itself, the Carrier Latch spring would put slight pressure inwards. Please PM me if needed, I replace several of these in Benelli & Franchi every year, most of which are bent by owners installing magazine tube extensions, some just wear out over time.
