Backcheck repair

You might have one, where the wire has broken of, level with the wood.
I have found the best way to remove the broken wire, is to drill a hole from below, and punch it out.
Put the new wire in the hole with epoxy, and screw the original head, or a new one on. Aligning with its neighbours.

  Yes, sorry, I thought about that after I sent.
  Wood and wire are gone. There may be some remnant in the wippen. I suspect I will have to clean out the hole and then glue in the new parts. New wire is threaded at the top so I am wondering if glue will be necessary on that end. If I find that the hole in the wippen is broken can it be repaired or should it be replaced? Hope that is enough detail.
