DIY Loose Juliet Nose Bridge

[heleust]

Hello O'brothers.

I have my carbon Juliets but the finish has faded quite a bit over the years on the earstems and bridge. In my country we don't have a place or people who can provide a restoration service, that's why I got myself on making (obligated) my own version, sanding carefuly this pieces, I got them kinda similar to plasma. I really like the result with the carbon orbitals, but the project became complicated with the nose bridge, it is quite loose.
I've seen a pin pusher device in several videos so I can repair it myself, but...
Do you recommend that device to repair them myself? Is it reliable?
I don't want to damage them, besides, sending them to USA would be very expensive, more than the tune up itself and not even to mention the headache of customs.
Thanks

Aloha and welcome to the O-Forum.
A lot of us are self taught and do our own tune ups. I'm starting to lose count how many I did, with no major mishaps as well. Pretty lucky so far that I haven't even run into a stripped screw. I use the pushers to push the pins out. But I set my pins with a nail set.

OK, I get it
All hail the King of Mars!

There are many how-to videos online.
Linegear has the best videos, in my opinion.
If it's in the budget, invest in a pin press/pusher, and be patient. You'll also need to purchase replacement pins and gaskets, for which there are several sources online.
