[QUOTE="Wayne_Teipen, post: 177639, member: 627"] Bent stems are heated and straightened, drilled/repaired, then heated and bent back which in and of itself takes some practice and a modicum of skill. If the overall airway diameter is on the small side it can be redrilled with a tapered drill bit. More often than not, though, the restriction is in the bit end. To do it right, you need specialty tools and have a bit of skill. The idea is to open the airway horizontally where it decreases vertically. The overall process is a bit more complicated than the average Do-it-yourselfer would want to attempt due to the potential for disasterous error. I would send it off to a professional for this repair. Walker's does great work. [/QUOTE]
