I know how to disassemble the gun, I need to know how to take apart the bolt completely. As in remove firing pin, etc.

I'm glad I have an 870, that's a nightmare to take apart and put back together.

I love my 870 compared to my mossberg.

There's a massive pin on the side of the bolt that you punch out, and then you can take out the firing pin and the breach block. The firing pin spring has a lot of force so be careful. For the extractors there's two roll pins on the side that hold them in.

hmmm?  Maybe the 590 is different but there is a pin for the firing pin as well.  Be careful not to lose the little washer and spring.  I just used carb cleaner and plenty of lube after that.

Not a problem, I bent the firing pin trying to get it out. I hate mossbergs.
