Not "absolutely" necessary, but if it's a grand, take the keyframe to
yr shop. That way you can do a perfect key easing (if the rebushing
wasn't 110% perfect, which is seldom the case) in the shop, rather
than in front of the impatient customer.
You do have  Spurlock (or brass or aluminum) Cauls of the appropriate thickness?
