Cracks in pin block

[Mike and Jane Spalding]

Roger,

This is a naiive newbie question;  Why not from the top (with action
removed, obviously).  I could see a possible problem if there are pin
bushings, but on a grand piano without pin bushings, being careful to keep
the juice off of the plate and the coils, why not??

thanks,

Mike
