Buzzing bass strings

This is regarding a Kimball spinet.
There are a few bass strings which "buzz".
I have checked the soundboard, bass bridge apron and so on.
If the buzzing is from these individual strings I probably need to twist
them.
Is there a tool to use for this?
Also, the hitchpins are "below" the bottom on the piano - will I have to
remove the pedals to pull these off  the hitch pins?
One reason why I suspect it is the individual strings is because when I
loosen the tension on these the buzzing disappears?  Is this true?

Please respond.
Thanks, Pat Hopkins
