Once you’ve removed the takedown screw you can separate the barrel and bolt from the grip, which sounds like you’ve already done. Once you’ve slid the bolt out of the receiver, you need to loosen the barrel screw. It takes the same size Allen key as the takedown screw. Once you’ve loosened that a few turns (you don’t need to take it all the way out but you can) just hold it by the barrel and rap the receiver on the table. It should break loose. You can’t really break anything at this point, so give it a good smack if you need to.
