I picked up a set of keys yesterday that had grosly expanded key leads due
to oxidation.  Several of the keys have split due to the increased size of
the leads.  I'm going to remove them and replace them with new leads.

I've never seen leads expand this far before.  They are all under
excessive pressure.  Does anyone have a favorite methood of removing leads
this tight without putting additional pressure on the keys.  I don't want
to split any more keys due to this proceedure.
