Strider PT disassembly.

[Coreman]

Hello there, and hope you are all well.
I know this is an old subject, and frankly I don't know whether it belongs here or not, but I'm just going through some knives in my collection, and to cut the story short, want to maintain my MSC PT for I've noticed some grittyness while opening and closing.
So the old matter surfaced again... that 3 hole pivot! .
Is there a disassembly tool for that? I mean I can find a way but it sure might cause a scratch on the black pivot or scale ...
Suggestion and guidance is appreciated, and sorry again if this subject doesn't belong here.

I used an old fork at one point. Modify a few prongs by bending snapping or sanding and it will work just fine.
