[CAUT] pedal squeal

[Keith Roberts]

Usually it's not the rod itself as it doesn't go through the key bed but
comes in from the back so there is no guide bushing. Sometimes the punchings
that isolate the moving parts are worn and you can use a leather replacement
in stead of a balance rail punching. Tighten up things so the pedal doesn't
rub against the case. The lube that works is the protek grease.
