Wim, Thanks so much for responding, I think it is just age, and it is too tight. I thought if I heated it, what ever way, it would expand the metal. It is an 1861 piano and this is probably the first time it has been taken apart, so I am thinking it is just plane too tight.

Rust, too tight, put on crooked? Have you tried heating it?

I think we have covered this subject before, but you know the drill: I didn't pay it any mind, because it wasn't happening to me. Now it is and I would appreciate any suggestions for the right product to loosen it up.
