I would guess the main issue is the mag body being too narrow and grabbing onto the follower. Culprit may be the body is out of spec or has been squeezed inward, only takes a little bit to cause follower problems. Second issue might be the spring has weakened. Or a combo of both issues.
As to taking them apart......push the follower 3/4 the way down into the mag, push a nail thru one of the holes in the mag body to capture the spring and then wiggle the follower out the top of the mag. Turn the mag upside down and slowly pull the nail out to relase the spring. Pay attention to the spring end and how it matches to the follower, it must go back together in the same way.
