If the old staking is not cleaned up it is hard to get the new end caps to seal.
King Pin Cap Cutter
That's a great idea.

When I clean them up I use a punch with a suitably rounded end to work the metal back into place, then you don't loose any material and it's about as good as new. Still if any final cleanup is necessary your cutter would do the trick.
