Can you take all of the screws out of the upstop rail and move it up far enough to get the flange screw in? I once had a PSO small grand in a church where the upstop rail had come loose on its own and was laying across the damper levers. Yeesh! That felt truly bizarre when playing.

D5 damper lift flange screw, which holds the flange to the damper flange rail, has backed out and was found laying on the keybed. The position of the flange and flange rail, as shown on page 50 in Reblitz, Piano Servicing, Tuning & Rebuilding, is different from this grand. In the cross section on page 50, the flange hangs down and is secured to the flange rail. In the Jessee French grand, the flange stands in a vertical position and is secured to the flange rail. The problem is: the damper stop rail blocks the view of the flange screw hole and makes the insertion of the screw into the flange hole impossible. I would appreciate some guidence on this problem.
