I use a small punch and a hammer to tap out the roll pin for the bolt catch. The spring won't jump out. Its fairly easy to do.

If you have the correct sized brass punch as suggested above, the job is easy. I gently clamp the lower in a padded vise to keep it steady. I actually have a dedicated punch for this that I bent a little for proper alignment.
