    Subject is a Millennium upright with a center muffler pedal which is not working.  In addition to the center pressure (wooden) release, there are two blocks which rotate somewhat but not enough to remove the kickboard.  Anyone know how to get the kickboard out so I can fix the pedal?  Thanks for any help!

    You can permanently remove the temporary shipping blocks. That should have been done at the receiving store.

    James:  You have to remove those blocks that pivot to remove the bottom knee board

    Thanks, Clarence . . . They just looked too "finished" to be a throw-away.

    Best,
