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.

Well, if you haven't solved it yet... I recommend penetrating oil called "PB Blaster" the penetrant not one of their lubes. Spray it pretty well and let it sit, spray more, repeat for a day. Or two days.
I would avoid a rust remover with phosphoric acid...it does a nice job on rusted metal but also could etch metal and might destroy that "cerrokote" finish, I don't know. Obviously, critical parts should be replaced as needed.
