<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=2>Take off the cloth and hide glue with water and
wall paper remover. Pry the bent end of the wire up and pull the old springs
out. Clean the hole with a piece of wire so the hide glue does not set back up
in the hole. When you put the new springs back in you can use a straight
piece of rod to keep the coils straight. I used a coat hanger. Search the piano
tech archives for more details and methods.</FONT></DIV>
