It’s quite deep down so you can’t actually see the screw itself, but just put an Allen key down and it will locate. From memory it’s about 3/16” but dont quote me on that. You only need to undo it a few turns as it sits in a groove in the cam body to stop it pulling out. Edited By Phil Boyland on 20/10/2018 19:36:48 Edited By Phil Boyland on 20/10/2018 19:37:32
