open the bolt and pull it fully rearward. Lift up on the front of the extractor and simultaneously rotate the bolt another quarter turn counterclockwise, which will free the extractor from its seat, then pull the bolt out of the receiver.
To re-install, simply slide the bolt back into the receiver, press the extractor to the left while simultaneously rotating the bolt clockwise - the extractor should snap back into its seat.
When returning the bolt to the receiver, you may need to press downward on the ejector in the bottom of the receiver for the bolt nose top ride over it.

his fingers are stronger than mine or his extractors are weaker than mine!

I have one rifle, my little used '98, requires a hard metal object to get the extractor up, I mainly use the can opener on my Camillus USN knife.

Thanks for the help fellows. I'll give it a try this afternoon. This is my first Krag and shes a beauty but the bore is dark.
