>Hi Terry,
                Two fixes come to mind. 1. heat the end of the damper wire
with a Bic Lighter then burnish the bushing with the hot wire.  2. Wet the
bushing with 50% alcohol and water, install an over sized bridge pin in the
bushing over night. It will size the bushing about 002" oversize.
