Better yet, glue the bushings in the plate holes (just before final 
assembly). One could do this in or out of the piano, but in either 
case there should be a firm surface underneath the plate web (in the 
piano, the installed block, outside, a piece of scrap plywood), 
separated by wax paper.

Not that I've ever been in to position of having to do something like this....
