It's a great idea, Mark.

What I do is use a rubber mallet to knock apart the loose parts of the lyre
assembly.  I clean up the old glue areas, reglue using Titebond, and then
pipe clamps to put it all back together.  Let it stay together for approx
24 hours and reinstall.  Just make certain the parts of the lyre go back
together properly and not crooked.
