Need Help with Savage Mod 12 Bolt

Is there a detail on disassembling a Model 12 Savage bolt and possibly a diagram that I can get my hands on anywhere?
 
Gollum,

Cool link! I had a set of photos I took for someone on another board a couple years ago, but the detailed write-up is nicer for sure.

Interesting site there, never heard of it before.

One thing that the article doesn't mention is that older bolts had a dimple and a corresponding notch on the bolthead that prevented you from installing the bolthead upside down. The new boltheads don't have the notch. If you run into this, grind the protrusion inside of the bolt body with a dremel, so the bolt head slides in all the way.
 
I have a question. Will a Savage 308 bolthead extract and eject ppc brass? It doesn't appear they make a bolthead for it.
 
On the SSS website, they sell a "long extractor" that you put in place of the regular 0.473" extractor for PPC applications.

Under the "parts and accessories" link, they also sell a modified bolthead assembly.
