Easing Grand Damper rail bushings

[David Ilvedson]

I'd try a drop of protek or goose juice on the bushing and make sure the underlever flanges are free first.  You don't want any slop in the damper wire/bushing.   I haven't used the umbrella tool, from the catalogs, in a long time.   Usually not necessary!
