[SPAM] how to remove upright pedals

[John Ross]

Might be time to get a tilter, which is what I normally use.
However, in the past, I have tilted the piano back, and used an offset screwdriver, to loosen some of the front screws. Then I have pried a separation, of the bottom board, at the front, enough, to allow me to remove the pedals.
Or there was pedals I saw somewhere, that had dimples in the side, that had a pedal support, that had pointed screws, that held it in place. The bracket support, was APSCO #30612.

  Subject: [SPAM] how to remove upright pedals


  I have a customer with an 1870's Steinway upright who would like the pedals replaced (the thin tin coating is worn right through). I can't figure out how to remove the pedals though. The pin at the back end of the pedals is too wide to be pulled through the opening in the case, no matter how much angling I do. I could snip the pin off the old pedals, but some replacement pedals I am looking at have pins just as wide, so I wouldn't be able to push the new ones through. Is there some way to remove the bottom of the case? Thanks for any advice.
