My extractor is broken, but I can not push the firing pin in deep enough to remove the plate around it.
Any other way I can change out the extractor or figure out a way to push in the firing pin more?
Thanks for any help.

You must have a model with a firing pin block.

You have to depress the sear lever (which also functions as a firing pin block) to allow the firing pin to be removed or installed.

That said,  I don't remember having to remove my firing pin to change out an extractor.  BTW, when I change out extractors I install Wolff extra power extractor springs.

Thanks, I did buy a set of new springs with my replacement extractor.
