No no no... grin.. by all means try it... as long as you are carefull you wont do any harm. It wont take long to give it a few shots either... You never know until you try... perhaps these hammers are not so heavily juiced .... perhaps there is more pent up resiliancy then you know ahead of time. Its always worth a shot at it... but if it doesnt work right off.. then you know ya gots to try something else. Cheers RicB PS... I still think you have guts :) Most techs I've ever run into shy away from even needling a fine grand. Someone ready to jump in there with <<alternative practices>> is rare indeed in these parts.
