Repost: Help! My capstans are too short!

Ah Tom,
Not so, case in  fact. One Yamaha P22 tiped over by overly exuberent high
school students moving the piano to the stage for a concert.
The fall bent the action bolts up an 1/8" and in servicing the piano I did
not catch the problem as the action went back into tis proper position,
However  the first time someone played FFF the force drove the action up
where it stayed until I was called back to fix it.
Sort of a head scratcher to find.
