I don't know about the rest of them, but I use "punch" to mean using a
small or pointed item to force out a broken spring or push in a new one
BELOW the surface of the post. Needle-nose pliers will only get you flush
with the surface. If the spring you are removing is whole, or at least
sticking out some from the post, "punching" is unnecessary. Just make sure
you dont try to PULL the springs out by the long end. You must PUSH them
back out the way they went in.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
