Removing Firing Pin from Bolt

I have a Nesika Bay action on my 6MM Remington custom rifle and I can't figure out how to remove the firing pin from the bolt. I would like to clean it and lubricate it. I don't necessarily need to remove the spring. I bought the tool for the Remington action from Sinclair but did not see anything for Nesika. Can anyone help me or should I contact the Nesika co.?
Thanks
 
I work on Nesika's a lot and think I can help you here. On most Nesika's, just grab the bolt body with one hand and the rear shroud with the other one. Turn the shroud clockwise just enough to get the striker to come out of it's detent (don't turn it the wrong way and have it drop down the ramp).

Then you will be able to stick a 1/16" punch (I think that's the correct size) through the little hole on the bottom rear of the striker, making sure it goes into the blind hole above it in the shroud also, which will then keep the firing pin from being able to spring forward (once you do it I think you'll see what I mean). Then just unscrew the striker/firing pin assembly and the whole thing will screw right out of the bolt very easily as long as your punch stays in the hole.

To re-install it, just screw it back in all the way, making sure to go past the detent until the punch frees up. Remove the punch, turn the shroud back gently until it drops back into it's detent, and you're done. Once you do it, you'll see how easy it actually is.
