See photo for my cotter removal process. It's a solid speaker stand with a socket large enough for the cotter to fall through. Same process on both sides.
Basically this way the stand and socket take the strain not the axle.
There is probably an official tool and technique for cotter removal but I found this to be pretty reliable.

Orange/gold flamboyant sounds fantastic. You do have to be so gentle with the paint, when your budfing and polishing. Just the lightest touch is all it needs. Did you get the cotters out @anidel?
