I'm trying to take out the extractor, and there's a slanted pin I've tapped out what I thought would be far enough for the extractor to fall out but seems it's still restrained (or at least can't pull it out). I don't have a long enough punch to tap it any further and I'm wondering if I do need a longer punch if it's the pin that's keeping it from falling out... not really sure. I was able to get the firing pin to fall out, with the spring, and also can't seem to get the firing pin block to drop out, it feels restrained too.

Pretty sure the pin has to come out. I have a PT99 and completely stripped it last summer. Can you pull it out at this point?

keep going you are almost there. If all else fails you can use the backside of a drill bit...

ya the pin won't budge, at least trying to pull it rest the way out, not by hand or even pliers which i rather not do to prevent chewing up the pin. i'll see if i have a drill bit that's long enough. To be continued...

Do ya'll recall what's the right size punch for that hole/pin by chance?

1/16" drill bit did the trick, just enough for the pin to move for the extractor to fall out... wish it was a bit more simple to disassemble, oh well still great shooter.
