Key Lead removal

[Newton Hunt]

> I use a  hammer and a small diameter punch/ 1/8" to push through on the blind side of Steinway keys. 

The problem with using a punch and a hamm,er is that the lead can get
tilted and with more force it can split the key.  Ask me how I know
this sometime.

I also use an arbor press )more force possible) to press the leads
back into the new holes.  Driving them also can split keys.

> three sets of Yamaha keys I have from Ivorite replacement repairs.

What a wonderful source of plugs.
