I got a replacement slide for my CZ-52 today in the mail. The firing pin dropped right in.

How do I move the extractor from the cracked slide to the new slide? It looks to me like I would set the old slide upside down on a table, or in a vise. Then I could use a 1/16" punch and a small hammer to drive the pin holding the extractor in place out of the top of the slide. I expect the extractor and it spring to pop out.

Then I would take the new slide, put in right side up in the workbench, and try to line up the hole in the extractor with the hole in the slide. Then I would tap the pin down from the top of the slide through the hole in the ejector.

Is this a decent explanation of the procedure? How easy is this to mess up? Are there any tricks or techniques for getting the pin out and back in?

Thanks,

Mike P. Wagner

I've yet to dissasemble mine that far but from looking at mine it looks like you could do just what you said and it should work out.
