Anybody here ever replaced piston squirters?

I have searched, and read a few threads about it. Was hoping for a little more insight.
Was ready to assembly my 930 bottom end this weekend, and instead , spent most of the two days trying to get my squirters to open . I have 4 out of 6 open, but two of them are stuck open, and flow in either direction. I can also see metal debris in one of the stuck ones with a magnifying glass.
So, my plan is to carefully dremel off the stakes holding them in, and try to gently slide hammer them out. ( not sure if I will have to drill and tap them yet) I may heat the bearing web slightly to help loosen the locktite that I am assuming is already there.Installing them seems like it should go smooth, just worried about the removal process. Any advice appreciated. I have never done this before, and have been lucky enough in the past to get them to spray nice.
