it broke with a slightly jagged edge about 3/8 inch out from the plate. i tried tuning this piano a few weeks ago and basically refused because the pins were so tight (bad repinning job) that i was afraid of breaking my hammer, as well as reinjuring my never-to-heal broken collar-bone (which does surprisingly well considering the tuning stress: sometimes i think the tuning helps it, like, gives it some healthy exercise maybe). somebody managed to tune it, but i wasn't surprised to discover a pin broke in the process. 

small vise-grip pliers could not grip it sufficiently. how the heck am i supposed to remove this thing?
