Push the extractor inwards just behind the extractor pin to disengage the extractor from the extractor pin. The extractor pin is not press fit, but it does need help to move it down out of the slide, use a small pair of tweezers or similar tool to grasp the shaft of the pin to assist it out the bottom of the slide. Note: This 2206TGT only uses one spring beneath the extractor, other models may use two.

Disassembly - Magazine
Step
30: Compress magazine spring
Using a dental pick or similar tool, hook the magazine spring through the slot that runs the length of the magazine body, and compress the spring towards the follower. This will disengage the plunger that retains the magazine butt plate. The spring can be held in this position for the next step, or a make-shift stopper can be inserted into the magazine body to keep the plunger from reengaging the butt plate.
 |
| Magazine Spring Compressed |
Step
31: Remove magazine base plate
While restraining the plunger above the butt plate, slide the butt plate forward off the magazine body. If the butt plate is being stubborn, the forward edges can be gripped with pliers and pulled forward; pad the plier jaws with electrical tape to prevent any marring.

Step
36: Install firing pin
Insert the firing pin and spring into the firing pin cavity; insure the notch on the firing pin is down so the roll pin can be installed. Push the firing pin forward and hold it in place, a pair of earplugs can help restrain it in the forward position. Insert the roll pin into the slide and tap it into place with a punch and hammer, the roll pin should not extend beyond the slide's surface. Test the function of the firing pin; when pressed it should extend out the front, when released it should retract.

Reassembly - Frame
Step
38: Reinstall barrel
Insert the barrel back into the frame, load the lock washer and screw on the barrel nut. Using the EWK tool you can apply the appropriate torque to the nut (25in-lb recommended by EWK), with a custom tool that is not compatible with a torque wrench you need to snug it down tight.
 |
| Barrel Installed |
Step
39: Reinstall sear spring and hammer assembly
Compress the spring on the hammer strut and hold it in place with a dental pick through the hammer strut hole, this spring is very stiff compressing it is easier said than done. Place the sear spring and hammer assembly in the frame, align the sear spring tab with the hole in the frame. Keep the spring compressed for the next step.
 |
| Sear Spring and Hammer Placed In Frame |
Step
40: Reinstall hammer pivot pin and magazine catch

Step
42: Reinstall sear
Align the sear to the hole in the frame, the protruding features of the sear should be pointing away from the frame and the large flat surface of the sear should be aligned with the magazine well. Insure the sear spring is located to the rear of the sear and then install the sear pin.
 |
| Sear Installed |
Step
43: Reinstall trigger assembly

44: Reinstall magazine catch and spring
Place the spring between the trigger assembly and magazine release lever, then align the release lever with the pin hole in the frame and insert the pin. The magazine release lever can be installed before the trigger assembly, but it may be more difficult to install the spring between the two. Installing the spring after both the trigger assembly and magazine catch have been installed can result in a lost spring.

Step
45: Reinstall side plate
Push the sear pin down into the frame so that it will not engage the side plate when it is being installed. Install the side plate by aligning it to the frame cutout as well as the trigger pin and the hammer pin. Push the side plate onto the frame; it may take some light tapping to get it to fully seat in plate. Install (3) side plate cover screws and slide the sear pin into the side plate so that it sits flush on both sides.
