front sight re alingment on a 7mm mauser

I have a 1916 spanish mauser in 7x57mm, my front sight is currently rotated to 11 oclock rather than sittin at 12 where its supposed to be. I understand that i have to heat the sight to get the solder to run out, punch out the crosspin and then the whole assembly should rotate to square up. has any one on this forum ever actually done this and if so do you have any suggestions to tips to help the process? if the sight was solderd in place that means i have to resolder it right, how do i do that? also the rifle is still wearing a factory rear ladder sight. im swaping this out with a peep from brownells to make the sights easier to use. the sight is adjustable for windage and elevation do you think that this would correct the POA-POI issue ?
thanks
