Nylon Pins

Author: Sb412

Recently, the nylon pin in my LH F#/C# key on my Selmer Presence snapped in half, this has happened before and I simply took it to get repaired. I’m unable to get it repaired currently, and I believe it’s something relatively simple that I could do myself as there are multiple places that sell these pins, but I’m struggling with getting the other half of the pin out of the hole in the key. Multiple sources have said to apply heat and have it pop out but I’m not quite sure how to go about that without potentially damaging the wood (I read that someone recommended a heat gun or blowdryer, which does not seem like a good idea). Has anyone else attempted to repair this themselves, and if so, how? If this isn’t something I can do myself, is there a temporary fix that will allow me to use that key until I can get it professionally repaired?
