I tried using a pick but it's too deep for that. I haven't removed the retaining pin because I'm afraid the extractor pin has a load on it and I'm not keen on loosing an eye.
First of all you have to remove the retaining pin with a pin punch, nail or something similar. Place the bolt head face down on a rag or paper towel then tap the pin out toward the relief cut.
When you lift the bolt head the ejector and spring will be laying on the rag or towel......MAYBE!
If not then you can try dripping Kroil, Liquid Wrench or a similar penetrating oil in and allow it to work a few minutes then slam it face down on a block of wood to free it. Fred (Sharpshooter) has had luck using a engraving tool to vibrate them loose.
Short of that you may have to visit you local friendly gunsmith or machine shop to have it removed.
