I'm overhauling an old upright action; the usual stuff, file/reshape hammers,new bridles,dampers,etc. The biggest challenge has been freeing up the action centers; namely the hammer flanges. I've applied isopropyl with a tad of water several times, and, after drying, the hammers free up a little more each time. i'm wondering if more applications will help (four so far), or maybe the list might recommend a better way to "shrink" the bushings. It's about 85% improved from when i started, and I'll do ANYTHING to not have to repin the whole thing! I'll wait for replies before my FINAL step of applying protek clp. Thanks all!
