Comments
In general, this kind of work is much like sculpting in wood; the material differs greatly from case to case - and very often, one improper move can break the instrument you're repairing even worse.
The difference between "proper" and "improper" is something only your experience and touch can tell you. It's next to impossible to describe it in concrete terms, not to mention - to transform it into an algorithm.
