IIRC, the area at the rear-bottom is drum-shaped; wider than the flat portion of the extractor. When you push it in the hole, it drops down when it's in position. That's when the stepped plunger holds it in.

Looks like a lot more work than 'easy'...But I assume you're making it. I've adopted Maynard G. Kreb's work ethic. "Work?!?!"...

Take pics & keep us posted!

Easy doesn't mean quick!

Work!
Doesn't bother me at all since I'm retired; I can lay right next to it and take a nap.

It doesn't mean cheap either!

OK, I'm looking at the extractor blown up and lightened; it seems to be flat with the rear bottom area rounded vertically [2nd pic] rather than horizontally [first pic]. That makes sense.
