| Hawg, Remove the large headed screw from the hammer. Then lay the back of the lock plate on two blocks with the tumbler between the two. Then use a large enough pin punch that fits in the hole, gently tap with a hammer. The tumbler should come off after a few taps. If not increase the vigor of the taps in small increments untill it does. make sure your blocks are tall enough to allow the tumbler to come off, but not so high that it can bounce off your bench and under your bench.

| Respectfully, Papa, I prefer using a SMALL enough punch, inside the hole. This won't damage the threads and also will not peen the whole shaft or damage the opening of the hole. Never have had a problem. Alternately there is a tool set, by L&R I think, that gently pries the hammer from the shaft, then helps you press it all back together. Unnecessary tool, maybe, but helpful for some folks. Dick

| Yeah, such a tool would be nifty..., I put a brass punch into the screw-hole, as I have seen folks peen the square of the tumbler causing a fitting problem when putting the hammer back on... LD
