There is no point in removing them. They are not marked internally.

The extractor is removed by lifting up on the forward end until the little lug on the bottom of the extractor clears the corresponding detent in the breechblock, then pulling forward out of the breechblock. Very easy to damage the extractor in the process.

The toggle lock is removed by drifting out the pivot pin in the toggle knob. The lock has a small spring inside at the top that can easily be lost and it is really fiddley to try to hold all the parts together while re-installing the pivot pin.

I highly recommend leaving them alone. Even for someone experienced with their removal, chances of marring or damage are high and IMHO not at all worth the risk.
