[CAUT] Shimming the Steinway Action stack to reach the strings

The school whose Steinways I service is not satisfied with the  
dealer's warranty fix (greater then 1" blow distance).  They are  
requesting that the piano be made to play like it should which will  
require shimming the stack so it is within reach of the strings (>1/4"  
between fully backed out drop-screws and pinblock).

Has anyone done this?  What was the scope of work required?  What is a  
reasonable amount of time to complete the work?

Thanks
Andrew Anderson
