Does anyone have the obscure little tool used to get the @#!!& extractor plunger into the bolt to replace the extractor claw on a FAL? If so, can I borrow it? I'm getting no love from the bolt I'm trying to work on - I've been at this for a while, and don't seem to be able to get the damned thing all the way in.

Any physical assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

There is a guy over on the FALfiles who showed how to make a homemade extractor tool.  It's too late in the evening for me to do a search.  I'll look tomarrow and see I can find the link.

I've done it by hand once, but is was a pain in the ass.  You have to brace the bolt and use some sort of hooked tool to pull the retainer back.  helps to have 3 hands also.

Search was easier then I thought.  Check this out:

Good luck.
