    I use a double reduced electric hoist from Harbor freight($89.00) along 
with their orange 5 dollar adjustable tiedowns that allow precise leveling of 
the plate. 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.
 Hope that helps
