That's why I say you don't need that tool- it's really only for replacing the ejector/ejector spring. Honestly it's a waste to buy it when the gun is new- I'm not sure the exact interval for replacing the ejector spring but probably not until 2-3 thousand rounds.
Aha! Now I get it. I had figured that the AR bolt was like the M1 Carbine or M14 bolt... nothing comes out of those without everything coming out.

You just saved me $25 (which I'll spend on a broken case extractor).
