You really should leave the original screws in the trimmer assemblies. You're taking a chance of messing something up by replacing parts that do not need to be replaced.

Good, small flat blade screwdrivers do well in adjusting these trimmers. They should only be adjusted once...when the set is being aligned...and should not need to be touched again for many years if the set is properly restored.
