Does anyone disassemble the bolt (extractor, ejector and bolt carrier key) during routine cleaning?
I thought that was only necessary for replacement or repair.
Am I right?

extactor yes, others- no.  I wouldn't mess with the key unless it was absolutely neccessary!.

The extractor can get crusty and the little spring needs to be inspected so that is routine.  I wouldn't mess with the key as you would eventualy stake it to death.  I've never heard of a key going bad because it couldn't be maintained in place.

No need to touch a key unless its loose or wont lock up right tp the gas tube,wich can sometimes be the tubes fault.A pipe cleaner with clp does nicely.

The extractor should be removed for cleaning.  Leave the ejector and key alone.
