I could be wrong about this, but I think you might run into a problem with whatever extends beyond the endplate binding in the hole in the endplate when the changer finger is activated.
The raises on a push/pull are tuned at the keyhead. The lowers and the open strings are tuned at the endplate.

Willie,
Get a 7/64 allen wrench with the ball on the end. It makes it somewhat easier to find the screw head.

One tradename for the allen wrenches with the ball end is "Bondhus". Others make 'em but that's what they sell around these parts. Maybe find 'em in an AutoZone or Pep Boys or the like.
