SMP Bond Bracelet assembly *PIC*

Hi, I would like to move some links on my SMP Bond bracelet (2531.8000). I know I should let my AD do it, but when they changed the size of my bracelet, I heard them hammer quite hard, and now one of the pins is slighty coming out of the bracelet. So, I rather learn how to do it myself. I still have the spare links, pins & bushings of course.
I read that the "Screw-type Link Pin remover" at OFREI.COM is a good tool to drive out the pins?

Are there any tutorials on how to do it? I'm not sure how the system works with the bushings, the direction arrow on the bracelet etc.
Again, I understand it would be better if an AD did it, but then again, it can't be that difficult right?

Thanks,
Ted
