    To remove the firing pin safety, you will have to first remove the firing pin safety retaining pin.


    Step 1.   Looking at the bottom of the slide, push the firing pin safety into the slide as far it will go and hold it. Take a small screwdriver and pull the pin out from the rear. There is a small notch in the pin, use it to pull the the pin out. It should not take any force to pull the pin out using force can bend and damage the pin.


    step 2.   Still holding the safety down slowly release the tension. Be careful, underneath the safety there is a small spring that can fly out. Now that the tension is released pull the firing pin safty out.






    Now how to remove the extractor.   Using a light source look down into the firing pin safety well. You will notice that there is a small hole that leads under the extractor. Using an L-shaped pick enter the hole and use the pick to pry the extractor loose. Now push the pick underneath the extractor arm and pry it out.
