No tools needed. Anything small enough to fit in the slot and push the plunger back will work. Don’t let any parts fly! Lol
just 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

I’ve done it plenty of times, yes it’s dicey.. I have a few parts in orbit too
 
It's pretty much like any Sako extractor. Just push the plunger back in the hole and pull the extractor out. Granted, seeing it done once does go a long way. Use a clear gallon zip lock bag. They're cheaper than the parts going into orbit. Lol. That slot is a nice feature, among many things on Borden actions, but it makes it easier to get a pick or thin screwdriver on the plunger and not slip off.
 
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)

You where right on so many levels. Now you have a clue that parts fly and how to possibly avoid losing them.
 
I'm 63 and my shooting buddy is 75, we tinker quite a bit. I will not say we either of us have a strong mechanical background, but we're not dummies. We do have those oops moments. I can certainly understand and appreciate your learning curve on your Borden. I also understand the frustration of loss of a piece. Hopefully you'll stumble upon it, I have. It's pure luck. I have hope for your success.
 
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.

A pair of forceps work well. They work for a lot of intricate things.
