Well thanks to the advice from this forum I had the confidence to tackle this job and managed to complete it surprisingly quickly.
I used a halyard on each end of the boom to lower it onto the pontoon after releasing everything and had some help carrying it up the ramp to the end of the jetty (in photo) where I worked on it for 3 hours.
I used my cordless drill to drill off the heads of the 5 rivets keeping the end piece on and a hammer and alum key to knock through the rivets which proved stubborn.
At the aft end of the boom, the outhaul was using wire and was connected round an eye-peice. This proved too large to fit through the gap in the block and so hammered it out of shape until it did. That also made the decision to replace it with rope much easier.
Tied some twine to the end of the wire and pulled out the block system and wire out of the bow end of the boom. Looked at the blocks, seemed alright, gave a squirt with drylube. Replaced the line that I needed to replace and replaced the wire with some spectra line I had lying around.
Carefully ensure lines weren't twisted, and pulled the system back in using the twine at the aft end of the boom. Then cleaned up the end piece with a bit of sandpaper, sprayed with dry lube and re-assembled, then riveted it back on.
Once done, lugged it all over the shoulder down the ramp and back onto the boat for re-assembly.
Job Done.
Attached pics, hope you like the one of the "temporary workshop" at the end of the jetty - nice and shaded with a good 10 Knot breeze.
Thanks everyone for the advice - it was very helpful.
