I thought if I heated it.........

 

I've been biting my lip on this one for an hour now - sorry, can't help
myself.          IF THE BOLT IS FROZEN - "I THOUGHT IF I HEATED IT..." -

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.

Why is the nose bolt frozen?  Rust, too tight, put on crooked?

 

Have you tried heating it?

Like the subject line announces, I have a frozen nose bolt and I don't want
to harm 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.
