Bracelet Replacement Trouble

Could anybody please lend me some advice, I have switched out my bracelet several times in favor of straps on my SeMP Chrono to help lessen the weight. The problem is that I always seem to have difficulty getting the pins in and out. I have the proper pin removal tool but I always seem to have difficulty; I have scratched up the lugs and now that I have put on the original SS braclelet back on I have even bent the pins slightly getting them back in place. I would like to put on a nice Kevlar strap or something but I am afraid that I will cause even more damage. The question is to you guys who switch bracelets with finesse; how can I remove and replace bands without butchering the lugs?....... Thankyou kindly Dale
