Hi everybody.

As I said in a previous thread, I bought a Wapi and hone it and it shaves great. But I feel that the stock scales need to be replaced mainly because of 2 reasons - they're heavy and they're not that good looking.
So, I ordered some pakkawood scales from classic shaving and next week they should be delivered.
First things first. How do I remove the stock scales from the Wapi? I don't have any blacksmith tools. My toolbox is the most simple you can imagine. I have a hammer, some screwdrivers, some pliers and some nuts and bolts and that's about it. Can I remove the scales with these tools? Or I need a drill?
The second half of the problem is putting the Wapi into the new scales. The scales I ordered have "all the things I need", at least that's what they say. Now, tell me if I'm saying something wrong:
1) Drill the hole.
2) Put the brass blade bearings between the blade and the scales
3) Insert the pin in one side and slide all the way
4) Put the collar on the opposite side and cut the pin closely.
5) Peen flat the end of the pin to "hold" the collar and the rest of the assembled pieces.

Any remarks/thoughts?

Thanks
