<div>Good ol' Protec will free up the flange. But only temporarily. I don't think there is any solution that will do the job permanently. Even re pinning is not going to do the job. Replacing the parts is the only permanent solution. </div>

<pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><tt>I've got a Steinway action that is seizing everywhere: jacks, hammer flanges,
etc. Anyone found a good controllable solution short of repinning everything or
changing parts? I know, alcohol/water w/ heat is the recommended approach but it
produces very inconsistent results in the hammer flanges in my experience.
