I wouldn't try to push de pins back into the flange. Better remove them =
all and ream and repin the whole set.

  OK, that makes sense.  I completely removed a flange screw, and still =
couldn't get the hammer off the rail.  I saw center pins between every =
butt, and assumed it was continguous (don't they do that in Europe?).  =
Since I couldn't get the flange off, I couldn't see any way to get =
traveling paper in there.

  It was a Kohler and Campbell "Professional", S/N 628617, which was =
1969 according to Pierce.  I'll have to check about the Samick part.  =
Does seem old, now that you mention it.

      Tuned a 1969 Kohler & Campber  (Samick) studio today.  Hammers =
going all over the place, left and right.  Tried to adjust one, and =
discovered each section is pinned with one giant flange pin.  How the =
heck do you travel these hammers?  Is heating and twisting the shanks =
the only option?

      Cy,
          It's not one giant pin. The butt plates have been allowed to =
get loose and the centerpins migrate until--Voila---They are all =
connected!
          With the action on the bench, remove the whole mess ,separate =
the butts, push the pins back in place and tighten the plates=20
          -Ream and repin as necessary--and it will  be necessary on =
many.
          Are you sure 1969 ? Seems a bit old for a Samick.
