You will serve your own interests best by obtaining some training from an authorised piano Technician. Talk to Bergen Pianoforretning, Nils Henrik will direct you to the people to get in contact with. Know this Ola, there are no shortcuts here. If you want to learn this and get good, its going to be a lot of work one way or the other. That being the case, you may lessen the time and effort by seeking active help and training. You CAN learn by other ways, there are correspondant courses available, some books to read etc. But I speak from experience, That way is harder, and less certain. Doable, but hey.. why make life harder then it need be ?
