[pianotech] Tell me I'm right?

[David Heidel]

A C3 has 3 or 4 brass screws that have to be removed.  Then the whole
caster/socket assembly can be removed.  The casters do NOT pry out.

  An institution that I tune for just put their new Yamaha C3 on a 
spider (Y shaped) dolly.  They were unable to remove the wheels from the 
piano, but put it on with the wheels intact.  When I arrived they asked 
me if they should remove the wheels and how to do it.  I told them yes, 
they should remove the wheels to get correct pedal height(and safety) 
and they could remove the wheels by prying them out of the leg with a 
big screwdriver.  Tell me I'm right. (No screws etc.)?

The customer has since left town (Cruiseship) so I can't get back to 
them if I'm wrong.
