I'm stripping down my slide for refinishing. I've gotten everything out except for the extractor. I've followed the instructions online for removing the extractor, but it's not budging. Penetrating oil isn't helping, and I've broken the tips off of 2 L-shaped picks in the process... I'm afraid of getting frustrated, doing something stupid and busting it.
I'm going to refinish the slide with Brownell's Gun Kote. For those that don't know, I have to bake the part in the oven at about 300 degrees for 1 hour. If I leave the extractor in, will the heat affect it in any way?
I know that it's important to remove all springs, which I did, but taking the extractor out is not that important to me if it'll be OK.
Any advice?
