<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> Elwood, My general guideline is, "What is the least expensive fix that will give excellent results?"  In most cases that means removing the pedal and taking it to a welder/brazer to be repaired, although even that cost $30 or so the last time. I made a pedal pin press out of a C-clamp.  Remove the pin from the pedal, and it goes through the hole easily enough, unless there's some unusual configuration.  Put in a new pedal pin afterward.  Make sure you have the right size available.  Most are the same, but I've run into a Kawai that was bigger.  I would not remove the piano bottom unless there's not enough space for the pedal pin press to work. New pedals are an option I've used, also, but you're asking for a lot more work if you can't find any matching sizes.  I'd go that way as a last resort.
