[pianotech] Wing Upright piano

The first thing I would check is whether or not the bottom board is in place. I've seen numerous uprights that
 had one "foot" unglued from being dropped or something which jams the knee board against the sides.

  I tuned a Wing upright in a church last weekend.  Only the second one I have ever seen and the last one was around 25 years ago.  This one has had all the pedals except the sustain deactivated.  And the sustain makes a horrible, loud squeak and wanders back and forth in it's hole.  But I CAN"T get the knee panel off.  It seems almost like a solid part of the case, or at least glued in.  The one I saw so many years ago is also too far away to check and see if it's knee panel is glued in...
   
  Does anyone have any ideas?   If you've tuned one, was it's knee panel glued in?  Is there some other way to access the trapwork?
   
  Thanks!
