Thanks for sharing photos! Looks like the extractor claw collar feet/foot is stuck in the rear recoil lug recess. In this case you will literally have no alternative but brute force to break it by either slamming the bolt forwards with a rubber mallet, or inserting something down the barrel and doing the same but from the offsite direction. Given the flex in long lengths of material, I’d suggest the former

Will you be able to source a new extractor collar and claw?

I have the extractor claw, it is fine.

Will need to fabricate a collar.

Do i need to worry about the ejector or trigger getting damaged? If I start belting the bolt with a hammer?

Maybe better to hammer the bolt forward? Then I can cut the collar off?

Indeed! Forward will be better, but in reality, when the collar foot lets go, it should all start to move as it should.

You will not likely be able to make a new collar yourself, it’s relatively complicated to get the steel temp to flex and not be brittle whilst creating the hooks/feet to slip into the claw and hold in place, perhaps altering a Mauser 98 will be your best bet, and they are cheap and easy to get. It may involve cutting and welding to reduce diameter, I’m not entirely certain. Maybe you’ll find spare parts from the EU eBay marketplace!

Remove trigger?
Will the cocking piece take hammer blows?
Will the bolt handle take hammer blows?

All why I said get an 8mm bright bar or stainless bar. 8.5 even.

Or throw the whole heap of Shiite in the bin

If I hammer out backwards i need to worry about damaging the trigger or ejector?

Will the trigger remove or clamp it back?
You may not need to hammer that hard! You may feel it moving if you hold the rod and muzzle together in one hand.
You might just be pleasantly surprised.
