Ok, I got it back and now the bell comes off easily.

The tech said he mostly shaved/polished the inside of the bell but also checked the tenon on the lathe and shaved very little from just one spot on the bottom lip of the tenon. He also took care of stuffy C1# and somewhat stuffy low B played with index and ring fingers.

Thanks to every one who replied to my post.
