Bending the wippen upward in the front will also shove the spoon backward and out of the way of the screw.

I should have known better which leads me to a questin. Do you guys ever get in a jam to find out that the solution was something perhaps you should have known but simply overlooked. I feel a little stupid however. So the problem was, I had the screw in the hole just fine but the spoon was getting in the way and I didn't see or feel it. My wife suggested I try placing the screw on first and then inserting it into the wippen rail. ti worked. I do this with hammer butts, and I've done this before with a wippen on this action I repaired. So why would I over look that??
