<div>><font face="Arial" color="#000000">Yes, the dampers must come
off.</font></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Hmmmm... Remove the dampers or remove the
hammers. Hmmmmmm.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>My vote, a resounding: remove hammers.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Reseating dampers is not a chore I would look forwards to.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Besides, remove ~70 dampers or remove 88 hammers, where's the
time savings?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The amount of effort it took to remove the Corfam and clean the
surfaces proves</div>
<div>to me that removing the hammers is the way to go. No stress on
the centers.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>With the hammers removed, filing is easier, not to mention
probability of repinning.</div>
<div>Heck, I even tapered them slightly to reduce the risk of rubbing
adjacent hammers.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>You can prefer to recover on the rail, I don't want to risk
damage</div>
<div>or working in tight quarters.</div>
