Oh, no, the screws that I can't get to that face each other are right in the center between the left & right hand keys (where the clarinet would split into upper/lower joint were it not one piece). If I take the screw out of the opposite end of the rod, I would then want to turn the rod & post counter clockwise so the screw did not face the screw head on the next rod, but I can't turn the rod/post because the post has a locking screw, the head of which is under the rod.

Maybe I'm being dumb here . . . duh . . . could it be that the screw that I can't get to does not screw into the rod itself, but instead screws into the post and has a point that goes into the end of the rod? Something similar to the two pointed screws that hold the beam on a balance scale?

I didn't wand to try disassembling that key/post assembly without first finding out the correct way to do so, and that's why I don't know if the screw that goes through the post into the rod is threaded into the rod or if it has a pointed end that merely supports the rod.
