I have never installed one from scratch and not sure of the smartest and safest way. I know I have to take each leg off to remove the casters. Also that the lyre should be off. I have car/piano stationary jacks to hold it up (only have 2) and I have a hydraulic jack. I also have a portable engine hoist that I could lug there from my shop if necessary. Any experienced voices would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Lance Assemble the truck as per instructions. Do not tighten the arm bolts, so you can move them in and put, and leave the plate bolts a little loose, so you can turn the arms. Position the truck under the piano, so that each arm is close to each leg. You want the arm that comes out of the plate at a 90 degree angle at the back. Use the jack to lift one leg, (preferably one of the front legs). You can remove the caster with a big screw driver. With the caster removed, position the arm under the leg, and put a piece of wood, like a small piece of 2x4, under the leg. Lower the jack and let the leg come down on the arm rest. The block of wood will prevent the other legs from coming up. Repeat this for the other two legs. You do not need to remove the lyre Good luck Wim Willem Blees, RPT Piano Technician School of Music University of Alabama ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
