You should be able to press the follower down with a dowel rod or split a paint stirring stick or something that slips between the feed lips. When the button lines up with the wide spot in its channel you can pop it out. You can then release the spring pressure and remove the follower and the spring.

You can clean the disassembled parts as previously described, but I recommend using Gunzilla BC-10. Spray it in the housing and on the spring and knob/pin and let it work overnight for best results. It not only dissolves the carbon really well, but after wiping it all away you are left with a lubricating surface film that doesn't attract dust. It is vegetable-based, so it won't hurt the plastic follower as some petroleum-based hydrocarbons may.
