In case you need to remove the extractor system before installing some/all replacements, Here's how Ive done it:
Using a non-marring pokey thing to help coax the plunger inside and hold it there, you first need to press the plunger completely inside its horizontal well in order for the back of the extractor body to clear the plunger's tip as the body is first raised roughly 1/8" (~length of the "tail/hook") in order for the "tail" or 'hook" on its bottom rear to escape its vertical well, after which the extractor body will exit straight out the front of the breech block.
To reinstall, plop the spring and plunger in first and line them up. Next, press the extractor body straight back into the breech block by pushing its front end against a piece of hard wood, Delrin, etc. This will compress the spring and plunger, and when you hear/feel a click, that's the tail engaging its vertical well. Press the extractor body completely down, and the nose of the plunger will pop forward into place over the top rear corner of the extractor body.
I have precise reproduction extractor bodies (Yours is top, center pair.) available if you need, and a few springs still left. The plunger itself would be easy enough to turn to D and grind its tip.
