Hi Andre,
The hammer glue, it is very hard to remove the hammer on a broken shank.
I have had some success with heat, how do you remove the Yamaha hammer =
heads?
Best regards,

  Well, for one, we have developed a glue for gluing hammers only which =
is just like the Yamaha hammer glue.
  It is a white, expanding, glue, does not drip and thus forms a nice =
collar or ring around the shank.
  We just improved it and found the perfect formula, meaning that it is =
perfect. It gets stone hard and forms a very tight connection between =
the hammer head and the shank. The fact that it expands means that the =
drilling can be wide. This gives you ample time to position the hammers.

  Powders : I use only pure teflon powder.

  Hardener : I only use colodion.

  Softener : never use it. We usually don't soften hammers with =
chemicals but with needling.

  friendly greetings
