Phil:

Is the spring broken or did it just come out of its grub?  You might be
able to reach back there with a spring tool and slip it back in the
right place if it isn't broken.

Colleagues,

Thanks for the suggestions that have been generated from this post. 
Here's the problem:

<you've got a floppy damper wire in the guide rail which is very close 
to the plate because of the break and you're scared to shim it. >

..and that's about as close as it gets. I have only seen this type of 
configuration once before..there is no way to remove an individual 
underlever..or at least no way that I was able to see.

It looks like a broken upright damper spring on its side. The click is 
coming from the spring because it has become dislodged from its 
groove..or it's broken. Since it was B2, I was able to see it rather 
clearly and replicate accurately.

Is there a way to remove an single underlever without a screw visible? 
There's 2 large ones at either end of the damper tray...

Again, thanks for the replies.

-Phil
