Pianotech

I pitch raise tuned an Everett spinet piano this afternoon. It was 60 cents flat and two strings broke in the high treble.  C7 and D# 7. 

I wanted to remove the action to make room to replace the strings and found that I was unable to remove it!  

I literally could not remove the action from this piano!  I'm confused and seeking help. 
 
It's an Everett spinet and I've attached some photos of the action. I removed the action bolts, then any brackets and still no luck. That action isn't budging!

The action sits tight on the studs and I thought that might be the problem but it seems to be more than that and I didn't want to force anything. 

It's a spinet drop action but the keys have capstans and connect to a rail. It's not the usual Wurlitzer or Baldwin spinet action. 

I hope the picture below helps you understand. 

I would easily be able to remove any upright action and of course, a spinet action with some additional consideration that it's a drop action but honestly this one is different. That action isn't budging and so I punted to this list!

I explained to the client that I needed some help understanding why I couldn't remove the action from the piano, and that I would get back to her in a few days. 

There are bolts way  underneath on the plate  attaching the drop action mounting pivots to the plate but I don't think Everett would make a humble unassuming piano guy go through that effort to remove  a piano action... would they? 

This piano has three action bolts, plus one long action screw that fastens the action to the plate like it's a  Wurlitzer spinet. 

Anywhooooo - I'm in need of some help here! Please and thank you : )
