removing hammer rest rail

[Joe And Penny Goss]

Hi Wim,
Use to bend the hanger too but stopped when I almost dropped an action carying it by the rest rail.
Someone else had bent the hanger to remove the rail and had not been able to get the bracket tight enough.
It helps to have action props that can hold by the center and one end bracket. Other wise things can get rather interesting. <G>

  Subject: removing hammer rest rail


  To remove the hammer rest rail I always removed three of four hammers where I had to bend the rail hanger that needed to be out of the way to slide the thing out. Yesterday, when I was putting the rail back on, I had a hell of a time bending the hanger back. Then it occurred to me that if I remove the action bracket, I would have more room to bend the hanger. But then it occurred to me that if I would have just removed the action bracket in the first place, I wouldn't need to bend the hanger at all. 

  Is this is a Duh on my part, and everyone else has been doing it this way all along, or have I just come up something new?
