I'm planning on changing copedent on my DeVis E9, three knee lever changes.
I haven't done this before so I'm looking for intructions. Anything on the web?
Thanks!

The method of attaching rods to bellcranks varies with the make of guitar, as well as the method of attaching bellcrank to shaft.
I'd start by removing a pullrod from a bellcrank, pull it from the guitar, then put it back. Take pictures.
Then look at https://www.steelguitar.com r.com/rodding.html and the charts it links to for ideas on how to rod the new changes you want to install.
Then remove the rods on one lever at a time, loosen the bellcranks, slide them to the new location, tighten the bellcrank to the shaft, and reinstall the pullrods.

2 pedal steels, a lapStrat, and an 8-string Dobro (and 3 ukes)
More amps than guitars, and not many effects

Good suggestion by Lane...also on the http://steelguitar.com/ website, click on "Tweaks" at the top of the home page and then click on "Adjustments". A lot of good info on adjustment theory which you may find helpful for your new setup.
