So now you have a chance to fret about this for a day while you wait for your replacement extractor. What's helpful about that? I notice no dimensions were provided which always makes me wonder a little.
The possibilities are:
New extractor is correct (or acceptable) thickness and drops right in.
New extractor is correct (or acceptable) thickness but owner has 10 thumbs and can't get it installed.
New extractor is correct (or acceptable) thickness but has a burred or rolled edge that needs to be stoned before it can be installed.
New extractor is also too thick to fit in its' slot.
More for you to fret over while waiting. When it arrives and you have an opportunity to install it you'll know. Well, maybe not if 10 thumbs is the issue.
I have 2 VQ extractors I've never installed, they're spares along with extra springs and plungers.
Using my dial calipers:
OE extractor is .060"
VQ extractor is .062"
Bolt extractor slot is .067"
