Believe me, I was really surprised that it was the recommended fix, by Steinway.
Kent says that he goes over all the friction points with cork grease, when he does his regular routines.
I was thinking if the glide bolt was the problem, why they wouldn't they buff and polish them, before installation.
I have never, since 1975 seen this as a source of a squeak.
Mind you the percentage of grands I work on is miniscule, compared with almost everyone else, especially the guys, who just work on grands.
Anyway, I am hoping for the best.

  It's the 51st time that it squeaks...I'm expecting you to repost in the not to distant future with "the return of the squeek"...

  I had almost got it, when I raised the glide bolt the smidgin.
  I had contacted Kent Webb, and he suggested cork grease on the glide bolt contact area.
  Went there today, did that and operated the pedal 50 times, no squeak.
  I queried him as to why the squeak had returned after, I thought I had fixed it. He said it probably settled down again. My next question was, will it start again in the middle of a concert, he said no as the cork grease was long lasting, but I should reapply it yearly to all friction points.
  Not quite the answer, I expected, but that is the official Steinway answer.
  Thanks, once again to all who replied.
