The hammer return spring strings are all rotten.</DIV> <DIV>Do I replace all the strings? My first choice. Or, do I replace the butt flange assy. (flange, spring, string)?</DIV> <DIV>Doing that I will probably have to travel the flanges. My guess at time would be longer to do the strings alone. All the bushings are moving well. No verdigris.</DIV> <DIV>Any suggestions? Am I looking at 4 to 6 hours or more? How much does a job like this run?</DIV> <DIV>Thanks </DIV> <DIV>Steve Kessler</DIV> <DIV> </DIV></FONT><BR><BR><BR><DIV><FONT style="color: black; font: normal 10pt ARIAL, SAN-SERIF;"><HR style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px">Need a new ride?
