Grasp bayonet collar, where blade meets hinge, or grasp by the collar/loop which goes over the muzzle.
Pull forwards, towards the muzzle. If the collar will not move, pull harder. If it -still- won't move, tap it forward with a hammer. It's an SKS; y'a'int gonna hurt it. If it won't move under hand pressure, it probably just means there's some leftover Cosmoline gunking up the collar's slidey bits.
Once collar moves, fold bayonet.
