Conical screw head shift rod
I'm trying to remove the conical screw from the left side of the head shift rod. There isn't much space and I don't want to ruin the screw. The allen key seems too long/wide to get the screw off. What is the best way to do it?
Thanks  Kees.

slice off about half the length of that allen wrench. on the short end of course. probably need to slip a short length of metal tube or something over the wrench for some leverage to crack the screw loose.

You could also loosen the other end of the shift rod @ the coupler (mark it's position first w/a sharpie so you can easily reset) so you can rotate the shift rod 90 degrees for easier access to the allen screw @ the front...

Thank you all.
Cutting down the allen wrench worked perfectly.
