   I need to replace the hammers on an upright piano.  Schaff wants the sample hammers with the shaft attached.  No matter what kind of solvent I have tried the shaft stays fimly in the butt, and comes out of the hammer.  Yes, I am using the right hammer/butt extractor.  Yes, I have removed the glue collar around the shaft on the butt end.  I have tried the wall paper paste solvent, glue remover and acetone.  No cigar!  What will actually dissolve the old glue?  Any Ideas?????
