    As to how it was done broaching to size and swagging the 30 seconds of a degree taper would be my guess based on machining marks.

    Asking is good, but the internet is merely a digital mob. Check Roy Dunlap's Gunsmithing or other reputable source. I'll just say all my written texts and references say left to right to remove--tapered pins too.
