This morning I went straight to it and that's how I've done it. It's a very well designed tool. Unfortunately the holes in the Tufnol washers are a tiny bit too big for these balance pins so I'm wiping a little epoxy round the inside as I glue them in and will ream them out. This is certainly the quick fix I needed and I don't know why I didn't think of it before. Thank you.
