Can someone explain how to use the included tool to adjust the flippers from the top side?

Quoted from 1956PINHEAD:Jimmyhonda The small flat metal block (tool) with the three holes in it align with the holes in the top of the flipper. This small metal block is used to assit in the removal of the flipper from it's shaft, that is it's sole purpose. In some cases you will need to use this tool to help 'Pop' the flipper off of it's shaft.
The procedure is: Remove the flipper retaining screw first, postion the metal block over the flipper, install the two small 5-40 screws (by hand), then thread the 6-32 x 1-1/2" phillips head screw into the middle hole and run it down until it bottoms out against the flipper shaft. Once the flipper is free from it's shaft, you can then position the flipper (by hand) to any angle you want, then simply retighten the retaining screw.

That was easy! Thanks! Should the flipper screw really be tightened down with a lot of torque?

FOO FIGHTERS UPPER PLAYFIELD KIT REVIEW- My upper playfield mini flipper wasn’t the most consistent. Not really smooth. So, I ordered and installed the precision flipper upper playfield kit for foo fighters. Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was super impressed with how smooth and accurate that shot is now. The original flipper had a lot of play in it and was a little sloppy. Hence the inconsistency of getting smooth shots. Now I can hit the mini playfield loop multiple times with minimal effort. So glad I bought this kit!!!
