Ok guys, I ordered the SSS ejector and extractor upgrade. I installed the extractor in about five minutes, without issue. I am trying to install the ejector, but the ejector spring is stuck in the bolt head. Does anyone have a method to remove this spring? It seems to be in there pretty good. I'm thinking there might be some crud in there holding it in place. Can I give it a shot of brake cleaner to loosen it up?
Any info would be helpful.
Thanks!

or some penetration oil...then just use a hook end pick or bend a paper clip and dig it out.

A few drops of a penetrate ( Kroil, PB Blaster, 50-05 acetone-ATF) and a #54 drill bit turned into the coils with a pin vise works good.:p

Sometimes you can jam a wooden toothpick into the spring and pull it out.
