Yes the spring that pushes the pin down is only a 1/4" from the end of the existing hole in the rear.Once the drill breaks into the spring pocket it should cut or relieve the tension of the spring.then turn the body upsidedown and move the bolt back and forth to help gravity retract the pin.
Even if it only goes down halfway the back side of the hammer rings are rounded so pushing forward on the bolt should allow it to compress enough to get the pin over the front ring on the hammer so it can come out.

Desoldering would honestly be the easiest solution...

Well.... look at it and working with the other ideas presented....and using your pic:

The area on the front bolt that I circled... it looks like there is no ridge as you would find on most other LB/SB/Speed Demon bolts. If this is so, use a punch and tap out the roll pin that is located in the hole inidcated by the arrow.

Once the pin is out, remove the back end of the bolt.

Now, push the bolt into the gun. You should be able to push the bolt and hammer forward enough to get the cocking pin to the slot cut in the barrel tube. If you can get the bolt that far forward use something to rotate the bolt so that the pin is now exposed in the slot... push the pin in and at the same time use a dowel to push the bolt out the back of the gun.

If it won't go all the way forward you may need to use either jeweler screwdrivers or a couple of picks to "walk" the pin up... basically use one driver to push the pin up slightly from the side, hold it with another driver, slide the pin again, hold it... do this until the bottom of the pin is exposed, then push it up the rest of the way.

If someone already said the above. I apologize.. I was skimming through this things and seeing a lot of "your screwed" comments and wanted to throw some more positive thoughts at the original poster.

and no russ... desoldering probably is not the easiest answer for most people... and even for most skilled people.

Thanks for the help guys. I've been really busy at work, I should be able to get on this by the weekend. I will let you know how it's going.


Thanks a bunch,
