Glock sells these little doodads and if you run into the rep or go to a class sometimes they give them away. That's how I've picked up a couple over the years. But you can use a punch too.

is the end of this metal?

I have a standard punch and have used that in the past with older Glocks I’ve owned (and no longer have) and it was tricky for me to not scratch the firing pin spacer sleeve and rarely I would get a small scratch on the rear of the striker.

 

Chanel liner tool. Glock store sells them.

 

I use a Glock punch but any punch or tool like a small screwdriver will work, you just push the plastic sleeve towards muzzle and it moves easily while you push the slide back plate off. It's really easy and your not going to scratch the firing pin, also don't worry about the plastic striker sleeve either it is tougher than you might think.

 

Jentra tool, because that's what I have for removal, and it works great.

There's a substantial variation in fit between liners and slides, especially considering the aftermarket. When you have a tight one, it's really nice to be able to get good force on it without buggering up the edge.

And removal of tight ones can be problematic with improvised tools.

 

Wooden scish ka bob stick

 

Easily breakable tho? I guess finding a strong and skinny enough rod WOOD work

lol

 

You're worried about breaking a stick?

You're going to have to pick what your more worried about ... Scratch on your gun or broken scish ka bob sticks ;-)

 

not worried at all about that
Not sure if it’s strong enough to handle the force needed
That’s all

 

In my armorer's class we used the Glock disassembly tool. I've been using it for 15 years.

 

Okay, that was a bit sharp, apologies

I use popsicle sticks, ka bob sticks, dowel rods etc as gunsmith tools. Many are the perfect for the task and hey, you can't scratch your gun

 

chopstick

 

I use whatever I have in front of me that fits the bill.

 

All it does is take the pressure off the plate.

 

I made a simple tool out of a plastic “orange peeler” as pictured below.

I use the pointy end to push the firing pin sleeve down, push the trigger pin out, take the magazine base plate off, etc., and use the flat end to clean the slide rail, breechface, etc. with a patch or blue shop towel. It’s inexpensive and easy to make. Works great and will not mar or scratch your gun.

 

Why are you removing the liner?

I can't even imagine how one would scratch anything while removing the Slide Cover Plate, regardless of tool used to momentarily press inward the Firing Pin Spacer Sleeve for SCP removal.

In all cases, the $5 Glock Disassembly Tool (part 3374, pictured in post #2 above) is the ONLY tool needed for every type of disassembly and assembly using parts as supplied by Glock, except sights and Firing Pin Channel Liner. The chamfered edge at the end of the punch makes it very difficult to damage anything while using it and that makes it superior to common punches of similar diameter.

There's no need to get "creative" trying to invent an inferior alternative.

 

The one and only!
The Glock tool!

 

Great info guys. Thanks so much.

If you do mess up and items under spring tension cause you to slip and slightly scratch the plastic or the portion of the striker ... does anyone think this will have negative effects on function or longevity?

 

I've never slipped. A scratch won't hurt, but just to be sure I'm putting my Glock up, never to be shot again!

The Glock Tool is for the physically challenged folk.
Glock wants to be "inclusive" .
