Should not be hard at all. But that being said it takes nerve! Lol I use a flat file and slowly file the pin down until the washer pops. Once the blade is out depending on its starting condition you may not need to start at a very low grit. This one was rough so I started at 220. I finish at 1500 grit then give it a quick light buff with black emery on a wheel then white emery and then hand polish with Mothers mag wheel aluminum cleaner. It's gets them real shiny but not overly so. Some I've heard go up to 2500 grit. But I'm satisfied with the results. After all to me it's a working blade and not a museum piece. The scales can be a finicky pain but go slow and you should be fine.
