I think tho... you are going to find it requires you to remove the bushings in order to use it. Its quite a bit larger (diameter) then balance rail pins and needs to go in from the top (keybutton) side of the key. You are better off trying to contrive a home made tool if you want to avoid rebushing. You can do this job with a small circular file in a drill.. (tape off the area that evenutually comes in contact with the keybutton bushing felt), or you can bang the end of a balance rail pin flat and sharpen the edges and use that. You have to be carefull not to over do it tho. Cheers RicB
