Jerry:
1/16" allen wrench is too large for the screw. Metric 1.3mm, or
American .050" will do the trick, however, be sure you get a good
quality allen wrench. The cheap import stuff, such as Harbor
Freight, etc., will sometimes round off the corners of the wrench and
spin inside the set screw. Don't ask me how I know this... hi...
