I took apart my dec yesterday and did the ra this morning. Much quicker now that I have a vague idea what I'm doing.
One thing I found today is that getting the wedge off the ra axis (something I jammed badly in my first attempt) was much easier done by laying the main casing down, with the black polar scope cover that's on the "front" of the main casing flat on the table, then lifting the wedge off that way.
I only point this out because you've mentioned that you want to do this on the pier, and I did this part on my tripod the first time around and got it jammed. You might not, but I think it's easier laying it down for this part. Up to you!
