Wurlitzer Grand Action Bracket Issue

[Farrell]

MessageLike Jon says, take a cold chisel and whack it. Bang the chisel with a hammer - I guess without too much gusto just in case they bracket does not break - you don't want to go bending action rails, etc. But my guess is that if, as you say, you see cracks all over the bracket, a light to moderate whack with a hammer and chisel will make mincemeat out of that bracket. I've removed these things when the absolutely crumble in your hands.

  As I stated in my original post, I did raise the glide bolts.  No luck.  I also checked to see if I could get the hammer flange screws out by reaching between the strings.  No luck there, either.  Now, what would be the best way to cut the bracket?  Any ideas from anyone?

  Thanks.

    Sounds like expanded brackets. Good luck getting replacements and figuring if you
    need the large or small ones. You might gain some clearance by raising the glide bolts
    thereby lowering the balance rail. If that doesn't work, cut the brackets. Or test with a
    cold chisel to see if they will shatter.
