OK, the my endplates have lossened just slightly over the last 11 years so I decided to tighten them up while I was adding some changes today. The first three screws were no problem of course, as you can see.



But how does one go about tightening this screw here?????????


If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
Thanks in advance, God bless,
Michael T.

Simple.....

Take loose 1 end of the three springs closest to the screw. This will allow you to acess the screw without screw-driver slipping out of slot.Use a long shank screw-driver,tighten screw, replace springs.

Be sure to loosen those three strings before you unhook the springs.

Ok, Got it, Thanks for all your help.



I appreciate you guys and this forum.
I figured I would have to get around the springs, but I just wasn't sure what would happen if I took them off. Thanks for the tip about loosening the strings first, you saved me a headache. By the way, I now have the Franklin change on my 4th pedal, wish me luck.

A 90 degree screwdriver works well here also. You dont have to loosen the springs. Martin.
