Yes. I am sure I would have taken it out if it was possible. The welded
sheet metal which runs behind the "pistons" has a hole for the square to
stick through so you can get on it with your air-conditioning wrench. I
cannot recall the exact shape, but there was something that prevented the
screw from fitting through that hole. Do we have anyone who has seen this
on a Midget to prove I am not crazy (well, at least not in THIS case)?
