---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Ric, Taking them out is usually easier said than done when the springs are glued to the wippen. How does one lower the tension on the springs, provided they can be removed without major mangling? Squash them? Replacing them seems like the way to go. Just wondering. I've been seeing lots of bobbling hammers lately. Dave Stahl In a message dated 11/5/2005 3:48:05 P.M.

Sounds like more work then it really is. Action on the bench, bridle straps unhooked and perhaps an hour doing the job. At least thats the way I do it. I never found a tool that let you do this with the springs in place. With good jack center pining, you dont need very much spring tension at all. Certainly not more then the hammer butt can easily push (via the jack top) out of the way as neccessary.
