<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Paul, Charles,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think Charles is talking about a =
different
rail.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Charles , if you are referring to the =
rail that has
no other function than to stop the jacks from slapping and making noise, =
consider any other way than removal of the rail first.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You do not mention why you would like =
to remove the
rail.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To remove the rail use the Jahn ( sold =
by Pianotec
) spade capture tool. It is simply a steel rod with a slot milled in the =
end and
a short tube soldered on the tip to capture the regulating spade of the =
jack
rails hanger.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The rail hangers can break if they have =
been bent
into position during or after manufacture, so note if the rail moves up =
and down
while you are removing the hanger screw and straighten.</FONT></DIV>

You shouldn’t have a problem with this. The supports are =
U-shaped at the
ends, and you just need to loosen the screws. It will pull off =
the ends
of the supports. Your hardest task is snaking it out of the
action. Perhaps you’ll have to remove the action, =
though.

I need to remove the jackstop rail from a Knight piano. The =
piano is in
a town some miles from here so I don't have ready access to it. =
Can
anyone tell me the proper way to get the sucker out of there so I will =
be
prepared when I get there? <BR><BR> I =
was only
able to see the flathead very thin adjusting screws. The rail is =
in two
sections, bass bridge section and then everything else section. =
I am
guessing I will have to unscrew the adjusting screws until the rail =
falls off,
which will take probably till Christmas. Is there an easier or =
better
way? Much obliged if anyone can help.<BR><BR>Charles
