That´s the best advice one can give concerning that kind of actions. I tell 
customers with these pianos that I will tune their piano, but nothing more. 
No repair or maintanance! I didn´t know that Yamaha produced that garbage 
too, but I saw many other pianos with that kind of action (Manthey 
Pianino/Klaviano or Manborg.....). How do you call that kind of action? 
Translated from German it would be underpull action.

Robin, I don´t know that particular modell, but try this to remove the 
fallboard: you wrote you could remove one bracket from the pin. Was it on 
the left side? If so, remove the left bracket. Then move the fallboard to 
the upper left. Perhaps the right bracket is connected with 2 wooden dowels 
so that the fallboard can only be removed by pulling out the dowels to the 
left.
