Hi Rick, Yes, this can be frustrating. I still remember the first time I had to get an underlever out. Did you raise the damper stop rail completely up? On some pianos, one can also remove the damper lifter rail or just unscrew it from one side to get it out of the way. But, I know you don't want to hear it, but, if you had a problem with one or two notes, I could bet the problem will come back to haunt you on other notes. It is sometimes the longer road that brings the best result. Some of these pianos had plating problems with the center pins and there is only one solution: repinning. Sorry for the bad news.

I'm convinced the problem is the underlever, but cannot get the XW#@ things out to rebush and repin them. The last time, I was able to unscrew the offender and bring it forward (but not all the way out of the damper underlever system) enough to douse it with lubricant. And it worked wonderfully for about two weeks - but just got the email this morning that it is sticking again. Help please on how best to go about getting these little devils all the way out of the piano to correctly deal with them. Please don't tell me that I'm going to have to remove the entire damper system...
