Yes, you will replace one dampenning device (the holes in the rod) with another (the emulator valve).

Getting things lined up for reassembly can be frustrating but its certainly doable.

there are a few emulator DIY threads floating around. I suggest you find one and review it. Lots of your questions will be answered and it will save you time.

I actually think I used a magnet from the top to get the dampers out, not a stick from the bottom. Oops. My memory has never been great.
