Related subject. I've been finding a number ABS flanges when repinning, having the crusty feel with the reamer. It indicates to me too much glue and a glue impregnated bushing cloth. We've all run into, for instance, Kawai's big flanges for their damper tray becoming destroyed. I've found that the bushing cloth is impregnated with glue and the center pin wears through the cloth and into the flange.
