Fabs:

It's been 30 years, but as I recall, a 1400 disassembles just like an 1100.
1. Firearm safe and unloaded
2. Lock action open
3. Unscrew and remove magazine tube cap
4. Remove forearm
5. Pull barrel out

The steel barrel sitting in the aluminum receiver may have gotten bound up over the years and require a bit of work/penetrating lube to remove.

Please keep in mind I haven't handled one of these for many years and may have forgotten something before you take a large hammer or wrench to it based solely on my advice.
