Push the slide catch pin protruding from the right side of slide and pull the slide catch out from the left side of the frame. Unhook the safety from the slide and push the slide assembly forward off the frame. Pull the rear part of the recoil spring guide (35) out from its seating and remove it. Remove the barrel from the slide.

[edit] Reassembly
Carry out above operations in reversed order. Be sure that the small plane on the front side of extractor pin is correctly placed fully inward and also that the recoil spring guide is mounted with its beak downward.
