cleaning balance rail pins &

[Isaac sur Noos]

Have tried with a pop rivet tool, have seen the trick on the back of
an old issuer of the journal.
Indeed it work, but the pin tend to stay locked in my rivet pliers.
May be I should drill inside to have a larger hole.
Nowadays it is very simple with a lever (screwdriver, shame on me
!)and cutting pliers (and a bit of force) install a little metal plate
to avoid marring the wood, and pull straight. Not very long to do but
still 2 hours to change all pins, and then , some balance pin finish
less straight than others, may be corrected later.

Greetings
