Anschutz 1807 bolt removal, dryfiring pin questions

I'm finding the snap cap/brass a little annoying, am thinking to just replace the firing pin with the dry-firing pin.

Hate to admit but I haven't removed the bolt yet...how do I remove the bolt and then the firing pin? Any tools needed?

Also is this the correct dry-fire pin for an 1807:

Seems pretty obvious from the name, but figured I'd check.

As I recall, you wrap a towel around the front of the bolt and secure it in a vice. Move the bolt handle so the firing pin goes down. Now just unscrew the cap, and replace the firing pin and spring. Rescrew the cap, and move the bolt handle back to the cocked position. Very easy. The vice helps, but you can do the spring relief by hand if you want.
You may want to buy/replace the other firing pin spring while you have it apart. I buy the springs from Wolf Springs.

To remove the bolt, first open it, then press in the sprung catch on the left-hand-side of the action (presuming a RH bolt) and pull out the bolt. If you have raised the cheekpiece, you may need to lower this or it can obstruct the bolt.

As for removing the firing pin, Terrykuz had it, although I've never bothered with the vice. Just hold the bolt firmly in your left hand, push the handle down (as if closing the bolt), and unscrew the end cap.
