I wouldn't go through the process often (my Lakeline striker is already in place), but I suppose it's a good idea to open her up and blow out whatever gunk accumulates in there? Plus, Galloway sells a SS striker guide that seems like a decent upgrade.
The little hole in the back plate is deceiving. It's only about half as big as it appears. Takes a very small jewelers screwdriver or a very small pin punch. The actual hole is kind of half mooned. If you don't hit it you accomplish nothing. Sometimes if the plate hasn't been off a little gentle prying is in order the first time or two.
