I also searched for it:

killall Finder

It will restart your Finder and reload the extension.

To add/remove the extension to/from Finder:

pluginkit -r <path to your appex>
pluginkit -a <path to your appex>

But after removal from Finder you still have to stop the extension (by killing it, by exemple).
