Broken Tuning Pin Removal

Philip,
         I didn't follow much of this but if the tuning pin is broken off 
at the becket hole where most of them do break, why not just push the pin 
the rest of the way through instead of messing with extractors and the 
like. If you push it down through the bottom you can then either use an 
oversized pin or plug and use a new, same sized pin. Either way this is 
only a repair and will ultimately have a pin block anyway, no?
