The bushings are unpredictable in their response to methanol. It is most likely to work if they aren't much too tight (whatever that means, probably eight grams or less, although I have found them up to 18), AND if you can check them in a couple of hours, AND IF you accept that variable, mostly extremely low friction is a good thing. On average, I find it about as efficient to repin. Steinway says to use as little as possible, which is hard to control on closely-spaced shanks in situ. I have taken shanks off, found two with equal friction as measured by a gram gauge, carefully placed exactly 1.0000 drops of methanol on each bushing, and had them measure different when dry.
