Thanks, Jurgen. I have an offset screwdriver, but turns out I don't need it because I can get to both screws with my long action screwdriver through spaces between shanks and flanges. Good info about spring bending.

(Please note that this is not a photo of a Bluthner action) [Image Removed] For more info on this tool, see: http://www.pianofortesupply.com/offsetinfo.html As for the jack spring, it can be adjusted without a tool, using your fingers. It is important not to change the 90 degree bend in the wire. Make adjustments by only bending this spring fore and aft at its base.
