On the 5th pedal of my steel, my pedal sticks in the pedal down position. This is weird because I took all the pulls off of the belcranks on that pedal to see if it cleared it up so that I could pinpoint the changer. But it still sticks. Could it be a spring? I need someone that has had this happen before or heard of this happening to post on this thread.

Most makers quit putting a pedal return spring on the shaft, if you have no string hooked up, I'd expect the pedal to stay on the ground.

Is the changer lubed enough?

Where the pedal rod meets a part connected to the cabinet. I loosened the screw a bit on that part and it freed the pedal up. No problems now. The screw was just too tight. know what to do next time that happens.

Please, make a picture of what part.... It can be important to keep that screw tight....
