    Wim,

    Thanks so much for responding,

    I think it is just age, and it is too tight.  I thought if I heated it, what ever way, it would expand the metal.  It is an 1861 piano and this is probably the first time it has been taken apart, so I am thinking it is just plane too tight.

      Why is the nose bolt frozen?  Rust, too tight, put on crooked?

      Have you tried heating it?

      Like the subject line announces, I have a frozen nose bolt and I don't want to harm it.   I think we have covered this subject before, but you know the drill:  I didn't pay it any mind, because it wasn't happening to me.  Now it is and I would appreciate any suggestions for the right product to loosen it up.
