You don't have to drill out the plate.
You just use the smaller plug, and then put in a new bushing, and a 00/2 =
pin.

  Plugs are good if the plate has been removed.  The repair we are =
talking about is with the plate still in the piano. Even if there is a =
plate bushing, the diameter of the plug will not be big enough to then =
also drill a hole for the tuning pin, (unless you first drill out the =
plate and that will be even more work, and is not warranted for this =
kind of repair.)=20
