Wedge the damper tray up, get out your Phillips head upright hammer flange scewdriver, put on your Petzl Zipka (LED miner's lamp), sit on the floor in front of the keybed, and get to work. It's not "easy" but it can be done! Those Boston flanges get amazingly loose in Boston area winters! With a screw holder you can get the screw back in if you've got the flange all the way out.
