Why would you need to pull the stack? 

Just use the same procedure you use for setting key dip, i.e., lift  the 
front of the key up and slip the extra cloth punching over the pin,  being careful 
not to lift too high. In my view, that is the fastest way to  do it.

I've never been able to make that work without feeling like I was  
compromising the stability of the paper or card punching.  When you cut  the paper 
punching, and put creases in it bending it around the keypin, it  seems to me to 
make the regulation unreliable.  So, I've always done it  the old fashioned way 
with the stack off.






Aren't we talking about the front rail punchings? I don't think lifting up  
the front of the key to be able to take out the felt punchings and insert  
cardboard or paper punchings will make the regulation unreliable. We're  only 
lifting the front of the key less than an inch. This is the way I  correct keydip 
and aftertouch, in the piano. 
 
I do agree with Jeff about cutting the paper punchings, especially for the  
balance rail. I never did like that idea, and for me it is too difficult to  
reach under the keyframe to insert them under the keys.
