Tuned an c 1905 S&S O yesterday and the piano is buzzing badly at the =
casters (two of them).  Small shifts in position do not rectify the =
matter and I am convinced that it is due to freely moving ball bearings. =
 I am wondering about solving the problem by repacking the bearings in =
grease.  Will they be accessible when I remove the caster?  And how =
easily will the caster come out of the socket?   Will it be necessary to =
lay the piano on its side or could I do this by blocking up the piano =
one leg at a time?  I have never considered doing this as a standard =
rebuilding procedure but it might not be a bad idea.
