To remove the bolt, point the rifle in a safe direction. Put the safety lever in the vertical (upright) position. Open the bolt and pull it to the rear (make sure that the rifle has no rounds in it, to be safe). It will stop against the bolt-stop. Now on the left side of the rear part of the receiver is a spring loaded, hinged, release lever, which will release the bolt stop. It swings from the front, being hinged in the rear. Swing it all the way out (until it stops) and that will allow you to pull the bolt out of the rifle. Do the instructions in reverse to put the bolt back in.

While that explanation is to remove the bolt, in order to remove the claw extractor, you will have to use a brass punch to tap the extractor forward until it clears the collar.

Unless you are absolutely sure it needs to come off, my advice is to leave it alone. the collar is spring steel and while getting the extractor off is fairly easy, it's a bear to get back on.

What is the difference between a German Mauser K98 and a Yugo Mauser?

There are few German Mausers.. The main one is the K98 . This was the main issue weapon during WWII. During WWII one of the places K98s were built was in Yugoslavia. The folks in Yugoslavia learned how to make them. After the war they took and redesigned the K98s and designed and made their own models.... They used them in their own army after the war and sold them all over the world. The M48 is my favorite yugo Mauser .
