factory installation,
dealer prep, countless technicians and a recent 'rebuild' with wood 
rubbing on the pin
and restricting the key's motion (pin hitting the back of a ledge).

It took about 3 hours and a Dremel Tool with a ball tip to excavate 
the mortice.
The keys move much more freely now."

Jon,
There's a better tool to do that job, which would have cut your time in half, IMO. It's easy to make. Fits in a Universal handle. Imagine the Balance Hole Easer, but with cutting edges on each side.
