I am no expert.

I was going by the Numrich pdf file I attached previously.

The part I was referring to is number 41 - Safety Bar, which is Safety Tab in your picture.

Is it possible to remove the Safety Tab without removing the pin to the Safety Catch (thumb safety lever)? In other words force it?

I attached a picture showing what looked to me like a fresh scratch on the back of the Safety Tab after I got the gun back.

No. You have to drift out the pin that holds the thumb safety, remove the thumb safety, then you can wiggle the safety tab (safety bar) out of the frame. The pin must be driven out from the top and then reinserted from the bottom when you are putting everything back together.

Thanks much, especially for the diagram. I had read the procedure in another reference for removing the safety tab but did not understand where to go to remove the pin.
