removing a hammer rail!??

[Mark Dierauf]

Easy. Just remove the action bracket at the end with the odd-facing
mount. You may also have to remove the hammer butt adjacent to each of
the other mounts to gain clearance enough to slide the rail to the side
before removal.

Subject: removing a hammer rail!??

I've never had to remove an upright hammer rail...until now.  I cannot 
figure out HOW to remove it without bending or just plain PULLING out at

least one of those retainer "L" shaped thingees that it moves back and
forth 
on. On this particular piano, two go one way and the third goes the
other, 
"locking" it into place. I'm trying to figure out how to remove the the 
third one, so then the rail will simply slide out, but I can't move the
rail 
even a little ways,  to unscrew it; I know there must be a way but i
don't 
see it. Any ideas? thanks!
