Removing Rear Blade

When changing the rear blade on S&W revolvers, turn the windage screw clockwise until the screw breaks. Then remove the nut by unscrewing if from the base. Use a plastic bag to catch the tiny spring and plunger that is located inside the screw head.
Reinstall the parts and tighten the retaining nut fully then back it off ¼ turn. Use the stacking tool and crimp the nut. Job done!
Tools look like this:
Rebuild kit looks like this:
Can you elaborate on the staking and crimping of the rear sight nut? Do you use the punch for that? What is that spanner-wrench looking thing and what is it used for? Is it necessary? Thanks.
