There is a step by step in the forum FAQs. Did mine and it was pretty easy. If you drill out every rivet it makes it much easier, you just have to keep the frame straight, it will bend easily.

Rebuilding them is easy, as mentioned before, remove all the rivets, it makes the job much easier. I learned that it helps alot to lube the rubber that pops into the frame, the first time I rebuilt a pair I didn't think to lube the rubber and it was a pain in the anus! If you take your time they will look just as good as new. I used a rivet gun for the pivot.
