well the bolt disassembly tool makes it a cinch---but its 50 bucks. You can use a 30.06 casing ---place it in the chamber and ease the bolt over it---this will pull the extrator to the side. Roll the rifle upside down peferably setting the top of the rifle on a towel(something soft to catch the extractor, extractor spring and plunger)---with the rifle up side down take a small drift punch and plact it on the bottom of the extractor and tap down into the towel----the parts will come out, and the bolt will be stripped, well other than pulling the firing pin out the back.

You can also stick your combo tool into the bolt face with the screwdriver face just under the extractor, push in to depress the ejector and turn clockwise to popt the extractor out. This works well to dissassemble the bolt, but its pretty hard to do in reverse to reassemble, as you need three hands to hold everything together and push the tool down to depress the ejector. You can either use a padded vice as a third hand, the .30-06 case in the chamber method, or the hari-kiri method of using your gut to hold the combo tool in place and pull the bolt into it while holding the firing pin and extractor in place with your two hands.
