P345 Disassembly

Does anyone know of a reference for complete disassembly of a P345? I rented a video on the P series pistols but it was a little outdated. In particular, I would like to remove the firing pin periodically for cleaning after I have put a lot of brass through it at the range. From the diagram in the manual, there is a "Safety Lever Retainer" pin. Not sure if that's all that needs to be removed to get the safety levers out? I know on the other P series pistols, the firing pin is held captive by the safety levers. Thanks!

Not sure about that but did learn one thing today. If you put the main spring in backwards you will get a lot of FTEs and FTLs. Frustrating few minutes at range today until I figured it out. Looking at the manual just now, it looks like as you describe for removal of firing pin to me.
