Hmm yes, exactly as that thread. Petty I never seen that one before I stared, but I believe I heard people mention it.

Anyways, to if you have pliers, use the wire cutters on them. You may find there is like an indentation so even if you put the pliers flat on the scales, then cut, the pin may not be flush. Depending the size of the protruding amount of pin, you may want to have the rod flush on one side. Then the protruding rod, can be pushed through so its even on both sides of scales.

Does that make sense?
