Hi Dave, Use a screw driver, and wedge the blade in between the two legs =
spreading them slightly, until you can get the size center pin you want =
in without blood. The Flange screw will reshape the hole to the pin as =
it is tightened.

  Thanks Ron.  I was having a helluva a time trying to find the right =

  I actually did try to spread it, but not having done this before, I =
was a tad shy of using brute force.  She has a student recital at her =
house on Saturday, and I didn't want the show to go on without a middle =

    Its not only a trick question, it's a trick flange. You won't likely =

    likely break it. This will afford you the opportunity to purchase a =
new one=20
    (better get a half dozen), which will be so strangely deformed that =
you=20
    will spend far more time, skin, and brain cells trying to get it =

    worry though, that's the way it is. Spreading the flange allows the =

    won't move after the fact. All the other straightening and alignment =

    is peripheral entertainment.=20
