clunk reducer?

[Don]

Hi all,

I have run into a problem with a Yamaha Diskclavier Upright Model Mx100A.
There is a spring on the sustain pedal that is intended to reduce the
"clunk" as the unit's pedal control is "on/off". On this spring there is a
piece of leather glued to the spring. The adhesive has "let go" and the
leather works its way out of place leaving a *snick* sound each time the
pedal is depressed.

Can this spring be removed safely and will removal increase "clunk" to an
unacceptable level? 

If I choose to reglue what adhesive might be best?
