Had to purchase a new extractor, as the old one wore the "catch" off and would no longer pull and eject the spent casing. (I have to add, I was lucky as hell to find one NOS). So, now that I have the damned thing, I'm at a loss as to how to safely remove the pin that holds it in place. I attempted to push it out with an old tiny drill bit, but it's really in there tight and I'm afraid of damaging it to the point where it can't be re-used. (because, of course, the supplier that had the extractor is out of stock on the pin...) I don't WANT to hammer it out, but it looks like it's my only option at this point.

Any ideas or suggestions? I miss my little .22.....
