seized slide

I think the toggle would have to be open in order to remove the ejector without breaking it, eh?

Try this...

Make sure the safety is off.

Hold the pistol in your shooting hand and press the muzzle hard against a solid surface such as table top or wall. with the slide pushed back as far as you can get it to go, try to turn the locking bolt (takedown lever) 90 degrees clockwise. If you can do that, the slide should come right off the front of the frame. Then you can diagnose the toggle issue.
