I recommend a "dent puller" type system, for removing. After they're =
out, glue size with 50-50 cold hide glue & water. Let dry. (overnight, =
if possible.) I made two punches for inserting the pins, out of steel =
rod. Drill to the approximate depth, then grind to fine tune the height =
of the pins. Of course, you'll need a drill press w/"x-y" vise for =
accuracy. After grinding, be sure to "soften" the edges, so you don't =
leave "tracks" on the rails. DAMHIKT! Then, you need one of my handy =
dandy front key pin straighteners!<G>
