1937 Acrosonic action removal

[TOM DRISCOLL]

This piano is the "everthing connected to the bracket" type. No problem with runaway stickers or benefit in removing the keys. Action is held in place at the top by four square headed fat bolts threaded in the head to recieve bracket fastening screws. Clearance here is somewhat a problem, but the damper rod sticks out the back so far that there is no possibility of clearance except perhaps at the bassmost end of the piano. I hope I'm making some sense here. Anyway, I'm also hopeing to get a little advice on what to do.
I'm thinking I may need to remove the holding bolts from the plate, move the action all the way to the left and lift out. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Phil,
    Great suggestions from our pals on list.
    This is a method to hold the guide rail in place.This was mentioned on list some time ago and I forget the author.
    I used to use the damper head idea but like this better.
