Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Sako 85 Extractor removal?

Hello,
I am the lucky owner of a Sako 85 Grey Wolf that won't eject. I knew about the potential issue before I ordered it, but I decided to give it a chance anyway because the dealer said if I had any issue at all, he'd give me a full refund if I wanted it. Well, it started bad and got worse. I went and ordered the Gre-Tan springs to see if that would make a difference before making my final decision. Can anyone describe to me how to remove the extractor? I think I may have a general idea about how it's held in there, but would like to get input from someone who has done it before I attempt the swap. Thanks!

Push down on the spring plunger with a very small flat tip screwdriver being careful not to let it slip and scratch the bolt body. Once depressed pull out and up on the extractor. It's fiddley. When it comes free the plunger and spring will fly out with force. A bag over the bolt would be a good idea. It goes in much easier than it comes out. The springs will work.

Thanks for the reply, Horseman. That's more or less how I thought it came out. I hope it works!
