M1 Carbine Bolt Assembly
I give up, anyone know how or were I can find instructions on re-assembly of a bolt for an M1 Carbine. Extractor was not working right so I took the bolt apart, but instructions were a little vague on getting it appart, and reverse looks like an impossible mission. Any help would be appreciated, I work well with pictures. Also is there a special tool that I should be using, besides a screw driver?
Thanks Again.

there is a bolt assembly tool, and without one, assembly is almost impossible. as far as pictures of the assembly, im sure someone will be by in a while with them and info on how to get the job done!!! 0 -
From TM9-1276:
a. Insert ejector & ejector spring so that recess in ejector, when it is depressed, will line up with inside surface of the bolt to permit complete entry of the extractor.
b. Insert extractor spring & plunger. Position the plunger so that its flat surface will match the inner flat surface of the extractor retaining lip.
c. Place bolt disassembling tool on boltso that slotted tang of its pawl rests on extractor plunger. Turn thumbscrew of tool until plunger is depressed; at the same time, the ejector is depressed into bolt by the tool.
d. Insert firing pin & extractor & remove tool.

Thanks guys, friend of mine just told me he had a bolt tool but did not know how it works, guess I get to try it out for him. Thanks for the detail nmyers. 0 -
Pain in the azz to do without the tool but it can be done with the help of a 3rd hand. If your using the bolt tool be sure not to make the most common mistake, the lever is positioned at the bottom NOT the top. You'll know it when you see it.
