Anybody know how to disassemble a PT809 extractor?
I took a look at the parts diagram, and watched a video of some other semi-automatic (can't remember which), and it looks conceptually easy: Punch out the extractor pin (part 1.07), remove the extractor, LCI, extractor spring, LCI spring (parts 1.05, 1.08, 1.06, 1.09 respectively).
Is it hard to reassemble? Do you need special tools? The springs look awfully tiny. I have tweezers which might fit, but there are a lot of parts to line up prior to inserting the extractor pin.
I'm quite sure the extractor channel is caked with dirt. When I shoot Gunscrubber through the firing pin channel to de-oil it, the extractor keeps dripping black stuff. I've never managed to get it to run clear, so I think it might need direct cleaning.
