just not soNo tools needed. Anything small enough to fit in the slot and push the plunger back will work. Don’t let any parts fly! Lol
I’ve done it plenty of times, yes it’s dicey.. I have a few parts in orbit toojust not so
a round tool slips off the round plunger and no go.
me thinks there is a reason he is using a FLAT tool
ohh and it did fly..no longer in possession of my extractor
It's usually the plunger that flies best. Lol!CLEAN FLOOR ..another funny guy...gun stuff everywhere( no wife to tell me i cannot)
the amount of help i get AFTER i lost the extractor is amazing.
( i have been talking to jim borden)
so the best i can tell is the extractor pivots somewhere near its base,the is a plunger behind it and most likely a spring behind that...but i have no clue on removing the extractor..and maybe how to reinstall...
help
You where right on so many levels. Now you have a clue that parts fly and how to possibly avoid losing them.CLEAN FLOOR ..another funny guy...gun stuff everywhere( no wife to tell me i cannot)

you think that at 74 with a strong mechanical background, i may have been there done that ?? (it was the design that was new)You where right on so many levels. Now you have a clue that parts fly and how to possibly avoid losing them.
A pair of forceps work well. They work for a lot of intricate things.What worked for me was to take some inexpensive needle-nose pliers and trim one of the jaws back 5-6mm, then cover with some heat-shrink tubing.
The modified jaws help to support the extractor claw while pushing back the plunger with a small flat-bladed jewellers screwdriver and you can then lift it out of the recess.
