Uh, no, now you mention it. I think I'll go soak em right now so they'll =
be
drying overnight. Do you just put a drop on each side or do you have to
remove the hammer and "work" the flange any?

Alan,
Just curious, have you tried sizing the flange bushings with isopropyl
alcohol (or hundred proof) yet?

Question for the more experienced with this sort of thing. With some =

What other suggestions might y'all have for wippen (NPI) this puppy into
