Hey fellas,
I am working on my dads old 22 due to failure to extract spent cases. The extractor hook is boogered up pretty good so I looked for parts and found them available.

I removed the left side extractor by pulling the plunger down and levering the extractor out of its pocket. (I used a pointy brass cleaning jag)

The right side is kicking my arse though. I can't seem to get any purchase on the top edge of the plunger to begin pulling it down.

Anyone have experience with this operation?

Thanks in advance for your help!
