How to Remove Typewriter Keys
- 1). Rip a piece of paper towel in half and gently push it under the typewriter key that you will be removing. This will help protect the key from being scratched or damaged in any way.
- 2). Position the claw end of a small hammer under the key and gently pry it straight up. The key should pop right off.
- 3). Use needle nose pliers to remove the key if it cannot be completely removed with the hammer claw. Firmly grip the key and wiggle it free from its position.
