After drilling indexing hole through the board into the rim, I am ready to remove the old soundboard. The tools for removal- a sledge hammer and a pry bar. Yep, nothing dainty about this job. The board is glued in around it's entire perimeter, and needs to be broken free. I start by hammering at each accessible rib/rim junctures. Then I pry the front of the board loose. This is the easiest spot to break loose as the liner is fairly thin. Then I work around the sides until the board breaks free and can be pushed up and out of the piano.
