The answer is that you don't. Dissassembly of the "bolt" on a Auto-5 is a complicated process and should be attempted by a quallified Gunsmith, or other trained person.
The bolt you refer to, is called the Breech Block. Cleaning is to be done with the breech block assembly in place. Remove the barrel when cleaning. You can always use a pipe cleaner to get behind the Block.
It doesnt have a bolt, but what is called the Breech Block. You don't remove the Breech Block for cleaning. It would require a complete dissasembly of the receiver which is only recommended for a professional gunsmith. To clean, remove the barrel from the receiver by unscrewing the magazine cap. Clean the receiver with a light solvent and wipe clean, then apply a small amount of gun oil where the groves hold the moving barrel slides. To get gunk out of smaller areas, try a pipe cleaner.

First response naturally is "very carefully". It's best to lock the receiver bolt in the open position. Pulls back on the bolt handle until it locks. *Always keep the barrel pointed in a safe direction. Remove the magazine cap and slowly let the barrel slide forward. *Remember keep hands clear of the muzzle and barrel in a safe direction. pull barrel off the magazine tube. Now the shell can be either pulled out by the fingers or a cleaning rod with a cusioned tip can push it back out from the muzzle.
No, Browning never made a left handed auto-5. The cross bolt safety could however be converted to move left to right for lefties.

Remove the firing pin from the rear and the locking bolt will side out the side of the bolt
I have looked at the bolt myself and have not found a way to do so. The takedown manual that you can get off the internet does not give you directions on how to do so. I am sure you know how to remove the bolt from the receiver: pull back bolt and squeeze the trigger and continue to pull back the bolt. If you are concerned about cleaning it, some Rem Oil and cotton swabs always do the trick.
