Easing Grand Damper rail bushings

[Christopher D. Purdy]

Elwood,

I have the damper tool you mentioned.  I use it occasionally, 
especially if I'm in a hurry.  You have to be careful not to push the 
felt bushing out of the guide rail.

My preferred method is to take out the damper and use a round, 
tapered file that I carry.  I view the easing tool as more of a quick 
fix, temporary thing.
