Have you tried something like the procedure described here:

?

If that doesn't work, the direct method is to back off the castle nut and back off the endplate. The castle nut is probably staked to the endplate. You will need a good armorer's wrench and, maybe, a punch undue the staking. If you are like me, you may want to have a spare castle nut and endplate just in case a gremlin gets in the mix.

However, it is infinitely better to put a new takedown pin into the lower without removing the detent.

Now THAT is a useful hint. Thanks for posting it.

You should buy your buddy a couple of extra ones. I know because my buddy has a bunch of them in his den that he has never found.

Finally my buddy put a sheet over him so he would stop loosing them.

Brownells is your friend
