I've got the shroud removed and need to knock out the retaining pin that holds the safety in place.
Is there a trick to getting the pin out or is there a special tool I'll only need for this specific job?
It's a bolt for a pre-war mod-70.

Got the pin removed.
Any hints on getting the safety past the spring/pin that engage the safety positions?

You need to twist it and pull on it to get it out,
