Jack Flange Repair

Matthew 

Are you sure the jacks them selves are broken, and that the flange holding the jack to the wippen has not become unglued. In my 30 years of piano work, I might have had one or two broken jacks, but countless of loose jack flanges, with the jack intact.

Knife saw, chisel

Saw sides then chisel middle if it does not break out with pliers..

I will be repairing two jack flanges shortly.? They both have the original jack still glued on, but broken.

What is the best way to remove the old flange, and glue the new one on.


Thanks!
