[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1108375, member: 176704"] Now you have reminded me, I think that's what I used - i.e. something like this [URL='https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Neilsen-9pc-Extra-Long-Metric-Ball-Point-Hex-Allen-Key-Set-Allan-Alan-1-5-10mm/233472683499?hash=item365c0e6deb:g:tR8AAOSwrTFeKIrI']Neilsen 9pc Extra Long Metric Ball Point Hex Allen Key Set Allan Alan 1.5 - 10mm | eBay[/URL] And I still maintain, that - having both removed the clamping bolt next to the hole with the adjuster and loosened the elevation adjustment bolt - it should be possible to nudge/lever the motor very slightly upwards and sufficiently enough to allow the hex/Allen key to enter the adjuster hole and engage with the adjuster screw head, because that's what I've done on several occasions. PS: I think I "nudged" the motor up by pushing a largish posidrive screwdriver into the now-empty clamp bolt hole and then pushing downwards on the handle - that, in turn, pushed the motor upwards enough to allow the hex key to fit into the adjuster screwhead.
