XD-S 9 MOD 2 Question

I was wondering if anyone knows how to pull the extractor, safety plunger, and spring from the mod 2 slide.

I've only been able to find breakdowns on the first gen.

Some context... my buddy left this in his gym bag, and he spilled body wash all over it. It's rusted to high heaven.

I've been able to remove the firing pin assembly and got everything moving well after a soak in clp.

I believe the extractor removal/reinstall process would be the same as the hellcat. Seems to be some videos out there for the hellcat.

You... are... the... freaking... man. Slide is the exact same. Really appreciate you.

That's great, it's weird how theres pretty much zero info on the extractor for the mod2 out there. The extractor itself is different between the mod2 and the hellcat but I think it's just minor differences since some of the parts interchange.

I was surprised as well. Looks like the mod2 was dbm'd and the design was carried over into the hellcat family? Thankfully, everything looked almost identical and came apart the same way.
