Frozen Extractor, can't see into chamber

Well, nothing is keeping that (rear) toggle pin in place, other than crud. So with a proper punch and some well aimed blows, it should pop right out.

Try removing it with the toggle all the way opened. When the toggle is closed, it can create some pressure on the pin, making it harder to remove it.

From personal experience, I can guarantee you the old WD-40 will turn to glue!!! I had it happen and it took a rubber hammer and a few foul words to get a Ruger 44Mag carbine apart.....never again!!
