That's why I removed part of the trap work to make sure, the L-shaped lever would stay down and not interfere with the removal of the action.
Thanks for your input.

Regards, 
Ursula

Ursula,
Since you say the Shift/Soft/Una Corda pedal does not work, make sure it is 
in the "released" position also. Usually the Shift pedal moves an "L" shaped 
lever and should be pulled down to disengage (on a right-shifting Soft 
pedal).

      No, the shift (left) pedal does not work any more. I am 
        not quite sure what you mean by the 
pedal return spring/wooden slats 
        could hang up on either the back rail or balance rail. What would I do 
        to remove the action then?

          Hi Ursula,

I'll chime in on the 'lowered 
          panel' keybed idea, and the possibility 
that one of the pedal 
          return spring/wooden slats may have broken.
They could hang up on 
          either the back rail or balance rail and still 
allow you to lift 
          and shift. Do all the pedals work properly?
