The Follower Arm Pin holds much of the feed mechanism of the M1 Garand together. Removing it simply requires using a combo tool to apply pressure to the small (left) side of the pin in order to dislodge it a little ways out of the receiver and then pulling it out the rest of the way with my fingers as shown below.

Once the follower Arm Pin has been removed it is as simple matter to pluck out the Follower Arm as shown here.

With the Follower Arm out of the way extract the Slide and Follower Assembly from the Receiver.

When the above steps are achieved turn your attention back to the Operating Rod Catch and The Bullet Guide...
