*shrug* I just leave out the hard-to-get-to screw, the other modules fitting
next to the keep them lined up properly.
However, the bottom screw for the back end of the chassis is only meant to
be loosened - iirc, you're supposed to remove the top two screws on either
side of the chassis holding the back end on,and it flips down, the other
screws on either side being designed as a hinge.
At least that's what I've been told.

Ya know... if you're going to design and manufacture a
"modular" power supply like is in the 11/34A/BA11K, with
those nice regulator modules...
wouldn't you think it could be designed so you could pull
them out to replace or add without having to remove the
backend of the chassis? That's just silly.
Perhaps I'm missing it. It appears that you take off the top
cover, undo a holding screw in the back (one per regulator),
and undo the connector for that regulator underneath. But the
two screws underneath and inside? Those don't seem to be
removable without taking off the back end of the chassis.
Icky. GrumbleGrumble...
