>Hi Patrick,
             Do you have the right to mess up a perfectly good set of
shanks and knuckles, should the hammers require replacement, A $500.00 bill
to your customer down the road if unnessesary is a very expensive quick
fix. Again good judgment is required. CA glue is not the panacea for all ills.
