Yes, I use the tool you describe. But one has to weave through the =
jungle-vine-like array of butt springs to get to the damper wires. =
Therein lies my quandary.

Sounds like a good suggestion for a simple tool-free "bend forward" =
technique. Thanks.

  Hello Terry
  You asked: "how does one go about bending damper-head wires on =
verticals without trashing the hammer-butt springs - not that I =
disturbed a single one of course - but I can see the potential to do =
that.   ;-)
  I say - you use the right tools! They look like long thin =
screw-drivers with a lump on the end and a slot in that lump at 90, 45, =
and 0 deg. I frequently do minor "bend forward" adjustments by tipping =
the action forwards, thumb on the damper drum, middle finger on the =
damper body and... gently bend. It always bends at the entry of the =
damper wire/damper body point. To reverse this 'tis necessary to use the =
90 deg. bender if poss - if not, then the 0 deg. bender from the side =
and ... twist it man!
  Regards from another beautifully sunny day which started at -2 deg in =
Sunny Sussex.
