Question about Savage bolt assembley

[tow2atm]

I have Savage BVSS 12. I was cleaning the bolt and I accidently brought the firing pin forward. Any Idea how to bring the little tit back, which is in front of the rear baffle assembly? AnyHELP is GREATLY APPRECIATED.
Thanks

Put it against the edge of your bench and put a little pressure on it while twisting the bolt. It's a pretty stout spring.Slow and steady pressure will get it done.

Or, you can break the 1/4" allen head bolt loose, loosen it about 95% (about to come out) and then it will slide up there. It's easy to damage the threads this way if you are not real careful.

Thanks, I'll give it a try!
