I personally would just leave them alone and not break them open as they will do it on their own.

They will get it as they will break open on their own. I don't advise it cause you can do more harm then good if your not careful.

Lots of baths can help loosen the keratin sheaths! If the pin feathers have blood in them, leave them be. If the feathers are growing out, then you can try and help open them up by slowly pinching and rolling them between your fingers, but only if your bird allows this!
