Dave, I know what you mean. Recently, a colleague and I did an installation, where we had to work over the action cavity --is that what you call it?--anyway, there wasn't much space for working. We used a thumb drive of sorts to getthe screw hole made and an offset rachet screwdriver (without a bit, just hex drive, Pianotek, #CM-13K) to get hex head screws (that I used in this instance) in. Those tools made the installation possible, but it still wasn't easy.
