Protek is completely ineffective on these flanges and typically has been for me on PFII. I've not repinned an entire set of these type but why do you think that it's ineffective permanently and what is the issue exactly. Inquiring minds... I think I did post this question once before some time ago but don't think an answer was forthcoming.

But only temporarily. I don't think there is any solution that will do the job permanently. Even re pinning is not going to do the job. Replacing the parts is the only permanent solution.

I know, alcohol/water w/ heat is the recommended approach but it produces very inconsistent results in the hammer flanges in my experience.
