I use a Starrett pin punch set. Part of the fun for me is to take Lugers apart. It's a little bit of a challenge but great for learning about them. I agree with Ed..this part should not affect headspace. IF you attempt it..don't force anything. Work it slow and pay attention to what pin holds what. Have fun!

Starrett makes the best punches on the market. I used to fool around with hardware store punches, and they would bend and mushroom every time I had to "use the force". I finally broke down and bought a Starrett set, and I have never looked back. It's probably overkill for a one-off job though.
