I've been able to tidy up a few of the hide faces on a normal bench grinder if they are not too badly mullered. Stinks the place out though.
"Mullered" - love it! In this case, the hide face of my Thor is well and truly mullered. Replacement is the only sensible course in this case, I think.
I've also made a couple of replacement brass faces on my lathe, for when you need something harder than copper but softer than steel.
Yes, my lathe is a useful source of brass drifts and such.
For Morgan wheel changing purposes, I have a lead hammer - came from a retired fitter in an explosives factory (the idea is you can belt the living daylights out of something without risking a spark)

Yep, I've got one of those too, inherited from my father in law. Goodness only knows how he got hold of it, he was a chainsaw manufacturer, never went near any explosives in his life.
For the Morgan wheels I usually use the standard factory wheel hammer with a lump of old hardwood door frame betwixt spinner and hammer.
