Bill, I have never tipped the piano, but it makes me hold my breath thinking about tipping the piano down with the dollie on the piano. Sorry I will be out of town next week, otherwise you know I would help you :-) I lifted one end while someone slid the one side of the truck under the piano. Then did the other end. They have two holes for bolts in the back that can be lag bolted to the rim. Attach them as close to the ends as possible Front side has space to fit a 2 x 4. Take a small saw and trim it to fit. This should hold the trucks in place. Lag bolt the front. I didn't put any screws on the underside as I thought the screws might work their way out and catch on a threshold etc. Surprisingly easy.
