How does the bolt/firing pin come out on the Uberti '76?

Hello!
      I'm finally getting back to playing with my Uberti '76, but I want to thoroughly clean it before I take it out again.  How do you take the bolt/firing pin out?  I don't want to start beating on anything without knowing how it SUPPOSED to come apart first.  I'm also refinishing the stock and forend (I HATE that polyurethane!) and so far it's looking pretty good.

The bolt and firing pin extension comes apart same as the current 1873 (those built within the last 5 years or so).   Marauder's site has brief instructions: http://marauder.homestead.com/files/Model66.html  Scroll down to where it says "Remove Breech Block"

There is currently a thread on the SASS Wire with a little better instructions:  http://sassnet.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=216467

That will get the firing pin extension and bolt separated and you can remove the firing pin and spring.  To get the Bolt and extension all the way out of the rifle, the hammer may be in the way and you might have to drop the lower tang to get the hammer out of the way.

Thank you!  I figured it out from the VTI parts diagram.
