[pianotech] Securing damper lever to flange rail

[Joe Goss]

Hi Gordon, If the stop rail can be loosened and moved to one side then the other to expose the hidden screw?????

  Customers Jesse French 57" Grand.  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.
