<p><br>My goodness! If you're getting to the point of putting in those
nails, you might want to consider replacing parts! The bushings are going
to be reduced quite a lot after they've taken all of that reaming!
<p>After you've introduced one size of pin -- 23, for instance -- you can't
rebush and put 23 or lower back in because same- or smaller-sized pins
would be too loose in the bird's-eye. Can't un-ding the bell. You could
replace the part w/the bird's-eye (hammershank flange, jack, rep lever,
or underlever) and rebush the other side, but if you're going to go to
all of that trouble, you may as well start off new. Labor is going to really
be up there......and that's all work *you've* gotta do! (Sure, you're getting
paid, but do you really want to spend hours unpinning, debushing, rebushing,
repinning and resizing? Not I!)
<p>Good luck!
