It's been a while since I dismantled my SAR-1, but I seem to remember a "J-spring" or something inside, fitting into a slot in a pin. That has to be removed first. I don't remember which pin(s) it holds.

Then, I think one end of the pin is bigger than the other. You have to push on the skinnier end, drive it out the "big hole" side.

Google "AK Forum" and you might find some good instructions.

Regards.
