After removing the firing pin, gently remove the extractor. Go slow and avoid scratching the gun. A small screw driver levered against the inner sufrace of the slide helps remove the extractor. The extractor is one of the most touchy parts of the gun and must be handled with caution and kept very clean. It pulls the spent cartridges from the gun and it's adjustment is critical.  Although the part is pretty tough and safe to clean, only a competent and experience gun smith can adjust an extractor which has been bent out of adjustment.
