>Another problem you may encounter: The older shanks were a smaller diameter

>So there is a possibility that the holes on the prebored hammers are too large.

>Another minor detail...do you know how to remove the old hammer and glue

>I would not recommend hanging new hammers on 100 year old shanks in the

>There is much more to the job than being a new parts installer. In this
>case, experience counts.
