Done!

 

 

The Swedish AK 4 tool depicted above can come in handy when disassembly is necessary. It features a screwdriver to remove the pistol grip (1.), a flash hider key (3.), an extractor spring removal tool (4.) and a key to insert in the bolt head to help rotating  it -see image below (5.).

#2. I do not know what is for, so if anybody knows, please e-mail me.

 

 

Insert in the end of the AK 4 tool marked "5." in the slot indicated by the arrow to aid in rotating the bolt head, ref. step 5 in the assembly manual.

 

Still, I find the Norwegian "bottle opener" extractor spring removal tool a lot easier to use than the Swedish AK 4 tool for removing the extractor spring.
