NoT Front pad has come loose

[tbonesmith]

Hi all, after putting a couple of hundred rounds through my rebuild No4T I noticed that on the front pad, the solder has released from the body/pad and now it's loose. Becuse it is probably contaminated with oil/grease in there I guess I can't just heat it up and do the screws up, so it will have to come off, and get cleaned, fluxed...
Anyhow with the staked screws, do I just used a small chisel or punch and knock them out of the screw heads? Then put new ones in with a centre punch when done?
Also is the anything to look out for in this seemingly simple little job? And is it worthwhile doing the front and rear while I'm at it, even though the rear loosks fine
