Balance pins was standard install (I used the .162 because of using the same keys). Assuming the holes aren't loose, just press them in (mine had enough friction to hold fine that way). Front pins require the nylon (I guess) inserts, as the pin size is too small to match most existing holes. So the hole has to be drilled oversize, inserts pressed in, inserts drilled, pins pressed in. Not that much work, but a fair bit extra. I found the sizes of drill bits they recommended were too small, and went up a size or two. No worries about gluing in the inserts. Press fit was plenty tight. Pressing the pins in as recommended rather than pounding is a good idea. Regards, Fred Sturm fssturm at unm.edu "I am only interested in music that is better than it can be played." Schnabel
