Polish P-83 firing pin: can it easily be removed?

Or re-installed without special gun skills?
It is really easy with my Makarovs, having watched it on Youtube. The channels are easy to clean and the firing pins are rotated to a certain angle to allow the safety to go back into position.

For P-83s there seem to be no descriptions on Google, nor on Youtube.
It must be either difficult or just a really bad idea.
 
Since the pistol is welded sheetmetal maybe you use a can opener...i b bad...i read the procedure somewhere in the past week, seems to me it talked of great difficulty in replacing the safety springs, pins and/or detents. If i come across the article i will pass it on.
 
Thanks very much.

Despite the pizza pan metal, at least all of the "Warsaw Pact" guns are known to be rugged.
These Polish guns seem as tough as my Makarovs, despite being somewhat new to handguns.

Well made they certainly are, my P83 is fun to shoot and has little recoil , it actually looks like a " real" pistol until you compare it with an EG or Ruskie Mak and see the difference in machining vs folding. Folded "Pizza Pan"......that is funny!
