have the room to turn the nose bolts down? No other choices that I can
think of.<br><br>

Having a wonderful weekend, tearing down a small Knabe for rebuild.
Can't see how to remove the plate without destroying the stretcher.
The stretcher has an integral cap which overhangs the front plate
flange. Photo attached. Quite attractive in its finished
form, but gets in the way of lifting the plate. Can't slide the
plate back until it's lifted above the nose bolts, two of which are only
12" away from the flange. Unless someone has a better idea, I
plan to cut away the offending part of the stretcher, then re-veneer the
exposed surface, which faces the plate flange. I'm not afraid of
the woodworking required, but would as soon avoid the work if
possible. Better ideas??<br>

thanks<br>
