I am trying to restore a Stanley #54 and would like to remove the adjustable mouth so I can clean out the rust and dress the bed before reapplying a finish.
Unfortunately the mouth is held onto the body by a couple of pivot pins which need to be removed to take off the mouth. In the photo below you can see the pin holes do not go through the mouth preventing me from punching out the pins whereas the holes do go through on the mouth from a #53 which I am also refurbishing.

So the question is – how do I get the pins out? I am loath to drill a through hole as that would ruin the integrity of the shave. While I intend them to be ‘users’ I don’t want to adversely affect their future value.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
