 Re: Using Shims instead of shrinking pliers

At least in English it's called "swedging" and done with swedging piers. I think I've seen it spelled "swaging" in some places.

As to why swedging is better than shimming, I don't know the answer, but since repair people use shims for several other things, I imagine there is some reason. It would be critical to find a shim that's exactly the right thickness - neither too thin, which wouldn't solve the problem or might even add a vibration noise, nor too thick, which would bind the key. Swedging correctly provides exactly the lengthening needed to remove the lost motion without binding.
