What should I inspect before agreeing to another spacer pickup change?

We've adjusted the FR5 pickup again and the spacer block still looks crooked in the grip. Each tweak helps just enough to send us back to work. The tray looks unchanged, but I'd like a proper inspection order before we make the next correction part of the folklore.

Can you see the block seated squarely before the jaws close, using an actual reference rather than the same overhead view?

A side view shows it sitting square before closure. Maintenance found uneven contact wear in the jaws during inspection. I can't yet say why one side wore more.

Has the toolmaker checked that the installed contact pair matches the intended assembly before you order another pair?

Yes, identifiers match the tool drawing. They are reviewing the mounting and wear with maintenance, not just sending the same pair and wishing us luck.

I've also gathered the pickup edits for the return-to-use review. I hadn't realised how many versions there were until I asked both shifts. Restoration and program choice need to be considered together.

Did the restored tool hold the block square after that review, or is the wear explanation still incomplete?
