5. Press down on the locking piece until you can rotate it.
6. Rotate the locking piece 180 degrees clockwise.
7. Place the bolt over the locking piece. Looking from the bottom of the bolt carrier, the extractor should be to the left.
8. Now the hard part. Grasp the bolt carrier with your right hand and depress the bottom of the bolt retaining arm. At the same time press the bolt down about .15" to .25".
9. Rotate the bolt 90 degrees clockwise or until the bottom of the bolt lines up with the bottom of the bolt carrier. The rollers should be loose at this time. If the bolt slides back on the locking piece, and the rollers are locked out, then the bolt needs to be rotated off the bolt carrier. reassemble the bolt/bolt carrier again.
10. Push the bolt/bolt carrier into the receiver by the bolt carrier. Push the bolt carrier in until it the rollers lock into the roller recesses.
The rest of the reassembly is pretty simple. Just see the disassembly procedure. Remember, only disassemble what you absolutely need to. The rear sight, cocking tube cap and trigger group do not get that dirty. It is unecessary to disassemble these sections.
Remember to clean the roller recesses in the trunion, just behind the bore. You can feel them with your finger. These will be filled with carbon. The bore, bolt, bolt carrier, trunion and magazine follower get the dirtiest with the G3 style rifle.
