<< Tom et al,

Having done this numerous times, I consider replacing the entire lever

easier.  I then replace every other one, keeping in mind

where the old one was. Bend to match it's neighbors and attach the old

damper head w/orig felt. Once the new ones are on, then I take the old felt

off.   As for the jacks, I prefer to replace the entire wippen and save for a 
time

when it's slow, to replace the jacks, backchecks, etc. Then the next job you

use the "rebuilt" ones.

Thanks.  Replacing every other one seems like a good system.  Somebody else 
mentioned this.  And what a good idea on the recycling of the old wippens.
