If it's a non-pinned extractor, I suspect it would be much like the Beretta 92 types and Sig types of non-pinned extractors. On the hammer end of the extractor, can you see a pin resting up against the backside of the extractor? Likely, the extractor is resting on it's own shelf, and a spring and pin pushes the extractor forward on it's catch shelf. Try taking a small screwdriver and push it behind the extractor (on the hammer end)- and then just twist. No need to pry or anything, just twist right or left. This will raise the extractor up off of it's shelf and it will just lop over into your hand.
