I'm not sure I understand what you are describing Marcel. The tuning =
pins at one time were really tight - were they really tight after the =
fire - they were still tight? Ok, so we removed them. Now the "original =
pins do go through the block after removal. It seems removing the pins =
really enlarge the hole...". Are you saying that after removing a tuning =
pin it will fall through the hole in the pinblock? I do believe that =
under normal circumstances that after removing a tuning pin and trying =
to re-install it, one would find that it would have less torque, but it =
certainly would not fall through the pinblock. Have you removed the =
plate? I might be concerned about the condition of the pinblock - could =
the fire have baked it in some unfortunate way? And if the pinblock got =
hot enough to get damaged, what about the rest of the piano?????

Or, maybe I'm misunderstanding you.
