Breaking and bending tiny pin punches...

I just use a small finishing nail bent into a slight curve. works fine.

And by the way, you have to punch that pin out from the bottom.

this much I know...it did finally come out. The design does preclude a straight attack, it has to be angled.

Any tips on sourcing good pin punches? I have a set of Lyman punches, they're better than most but once again the small ones are history.
