And somewhere in there make time to put out the fires caused by step 2. 
From that you can surmise I'm no pro.
james t, I've noticed newer cartridge faucets don't seem to contribute so much to hammering. I'm assuming because the washerless seal doesn't feed back to the problem? If the hammering only starts when using one or two faucets it might be worth a try. Could save him from chasing leaks in that 80yr old iron.
