Hi Eric,

Check the watchtech section. I think you will find the information there.

If not - try this link.

It's a pain...be sure you tape the back of the lugs with masking tape, because otherwise you will definitely scratch them.

+1
I use a Bergeon 6767F to remove the pins, and then a Bergeon 6240 scratch pen to remove the inevitable scratches.

Kinda on this topic, let me ask this- I bent the very tip of the spring bar taking the band off a GMTll yesterday . Is this a Rolex specific part or can I go to any jewelry store and just buy one that looks like it?
