Help with Speedmaster 1998 Bracelet

Hello to the forum, it's my first time posting here...

I have a relatively new Omega Speedmaster professional with the 1998 bracelet and I need to put in a couple of links in order to wear the watch. I have the links but are there any pearls or tricks useful to know in terms of opening up the bracelet and installing the new links. If there is anything special involved in removing the pin so that the bracelet can be opened up to accept additional links and, as the links come with a pin and two collars, if there is a specific order to placing the collar and then the pin, please let me know. On the pother hand, if this is something a professional watchmaker should be doing, I welcome that as well.

Regards,

Randy
