Thanks, David - I had that "Aha!  I bet they're accessible from under  
the legs " moment in the middle of the night.  In the shop today  
(Fri.), before I took a leg off to find out, I checked my email, and  
there was your answer.  I'm a little embarrassed that I didn't think  
of that sooner, and if I hadn't, your post would certainly have saved  
me some unnecessary work and surely a headache!  For the next  
rebuilder who comes across a Schiedmayer Pianofortefabrik grand, I'll  
add that with the leg off, the tapered round nut comes off easily with  
an old pair of needlenose pliers in the slots (don't stress your good  
needlenose pliers, or if you do, put the tips in the slots and grasp  
and turn the jaws with parallel-jaw pliers).

Thanks,

Joe DeFazio
