  Dynamite. Well, actually, assuming you have the gun field-stripped:
  
  1) Put the safety in the off-safe position. Push the head of the firing pin inward and slide the firing pin retaining plate downward. Be careful you dont launch the firing pin and spring.
  
  2) Looking from underneath the slide, you'll see a half-moon looking cutout in the raised ridge running down the center. You should be able to see the bolt stop pin in there. Insert a small tool to rotate the pin until the flat face is toward the rear of the slide.
  
  3) There is a notch in the flat face of the bolt stop pin. Use a tool in that notch to lift the pin out of its recess. Be sure to restrain the bolt assembly while you do this or you will be looking for parts on the floor.
  
  4) You can now remove the bolt, the bolt plunger and the plunger spring out the front of the slide.
  
  When you reinstall the bolt, make sure the extractor is on the right side of the slide. Will save you a bit of cussing.
