Terry, It takes way too much time to 'rebuild' a backcheck. Replace. If the angle is good and the wires are firm in the wood, you can simply unscrew to old ones and screw on the new ones. Don't waste your time on tedious tasks like this. Unless this would be your first time and you want the bragging rights and to be able to say from experience, "Never again!" -- Regards, Jon Page
