Knabe key bushings

Howdy,

Took a look at a 1929 Knabe grand that was rebuilt in the late 70s.  Hmm.  Well, I guess nice parts may have been a little more difficult to get back then...

This piano has those elongated, thin balance pins.  There's not a lot of wobble, but they don't fit quite the way I'd like, either.  Did I read about resizing bushings by using a quick shot of steam on this list?  Has anybody rebushed a set of these?  I see the cauls listed on the Spurlock website &  in the Pianotek catalog, so I guess somebody does them.  Any bits of advice?

Thanks,
