Sticky Sticker Situation

[Alan]

I guess most everyone ELSE knew this trick--based on the responses I've
gotten--but it was the first Acro action I've had to remove, believe it
or not, and I don't think we really learn a lot of our skills until we
have to actually do it! :-] Thanks to all for the answers.

Alan asked: "Acrosonic, drop action w/wooden stickers that have metal
pins on top that fit into a bushed guide rail ...

Is there no way to remove the action and replace it without removing and
individually replacing all 88 stickers? Mein Gott!

Alan,
Sheesh! I thought everyone knew how to do this. The two dampers/heads,
on either side of the "break", are most likely to get "trashed" when
removing/installing an Acrosonic action. So, kill two birds with one
load of pellets. 1. Remove those two dampers/heads and re-install them
on the metal guide pin. One on #1 and the other on #88. This will hold
them all on the rail while you do...#2. Remove the action. For
installing the action, just reverse the process.<G> Best Regards, Joe
