it's the same basis as a car door hinge, you may be able to find one of those door hinge tools easier than the Brompton one. and the info on doing the job should be readily found too.
so long as everything fits cleanly on all edges of the pin and there's no play, you should be good to go.
if you fit it and find there is play then you need to start again until it's right.
