Hi Dave Quick and dirty would be a few drops of CA carefully soaked in around the base of the capstan. But my prefered way is to screw em out and replace with a size bigger. Course sometimes thats not an option as one has already the largest threads available. Swabing the inside of the hole with fast drying epoxy and re-inserting the pin (best to use a drill press or similiar pressing device me thinks) after dry and hard. Cheers RicB ------------ Does anyone have a favorite (easy) way to fix loose capstans? We have a 6-year-old grand where the capstans are so loose that you can't keep a good hammer line. Within a week of regulating it several hammers are back down on the rebound felts. None of the capstans are hard to turn and many are way too loose. Unfortunately this is from the 5-year-warranty company so I'm on my own with this one. dave
