balance rail pins

List,
While rebushing a set of keys to a 20 yr old Baldwin 6'er,
I noticed the pin was rubbing on the keystick below the bushing.
I removed some wood with a bit in my Dremel tool and rebushed.

I also noticed the hole in the button was off center and looked at the
balance rail pins; they too mostly leaned to one side. As if they'd been
left out in a high wind for a while.

What can of worms is awaiting me if I replace the buttons and straighten
the pins?
Or will it just relieve some of the friction left-over after repinning the
flanges.

Also, which rig is best for this button replacement? 
I have others to do in the near future.

Thanks,
