Lanyard tube Para 3 (Aftermarket easier?)

I've been looking into titanium hardware for the Para 3 and was wondering...Once I get the factory lanyard tube out is it easier to assemble/disasemble the knife with a titanium lanyard tube in place?

It is if you get a lanyard plug instead of a tube

So do i need a tool to remove the original tube to replace with a plug? I'm trying to avoid that.

Your hands should be able to pry the handles apart. You can also use soft jawed pliers to remove the lanyard tube or pliers with a folded mousepad between the jaws

The lanyard plug isn’t pressfit like the tube. It just sits in the holes.

Oh nice! Are the aftermarket (flytanium) lanyard tubes like that too?

Does the stock lanyard tube fit into titanium scales, or do I need aftermarket? I know the OEM lanyard tube can be a tad difficult to remove from G10 but once it's out can it be used in titanium scales and removed easily for cleaning etc.
