Sometimes the plate needs to be canted towards (usually) the bass and down a bit so as to slip that corner in under a music desk slide flange on stwys at least. We are usually have all the major belly work including bearing done before the piano goes to finish. We finish with plate removed. We finish the board and the case then slip the plate in hopefully only one last time. I protect the rim with 10 mil mylar or thin card board to prevent damageto the rim. A chain hoist or geared down electric hoist is perfect for the slow and careful plate reentry. Sometimes slight damage is unavoidable but it's usually easily touched.
