Any advice on removing these rivets? Most of the videos online about removing them seem to show them already removed when they start. I tried cutting just the head of the rivet off, but there wasn't enough to peen it again to get the ejector spring to stay on. So I decided to knock the rivet out, but that's been more difficult than it sounds. Are you guys having it cut it down to the ejector, or what is the best way to get it out?
Also, is there anyway to put it back in without the expensive Brownell's staking punches (which look very cheaply made considering they broke in one of the youtube videos).
