I have a 55lb striker hammer (anyang style), with the top die stuck in the up position. I had a stuck die and was hammering out the key and it must have moved a bit and when I turned the hammer on the tup is stuck inside the body of the hammer. Anyone know how to get it back down?

Some disassembly required, probably. I imagine you will have to hammer the tup from above to drive it down. Hopefully the tup guide hasn't been scarred up. I would check with several of the blacksmithing forums before tearing into it, though.
