need help with the bolt on my m24/47 mauser

this is my first time dissassembling a mauser bolt and i think i screwed up I accentially flipped the saftey flipper down in the fire position before unscrewing it away from the body and it would appear that ive locked it up. ANYBODY HAVE AN IDEA?

.

Hook the bottom of the cocking piece/firing pin on a sharp/hard corner, like the edge of a jaw of a bench vise & pull the bolt body forward/away enough to engage the safety in the cocking piece's forward edge.

Alternatively, if you have a vise, clamp the bottom of the cocking piece in it and pull the bolt away enough to get the safety into the middle position. Then disassemble in the normal manner.
