A friend gave me a Phillips-head screwdriver that works great for this. I
used mine yesterday to pull the deck for cable and parts work. I don't
know where he got it, but I'm pretty sure it's one of those non-descript
tools from somewhere like Home Depot or Lowe's. It has a gray handle with
an orange tip on the handle and I'm pretty sure I've seen these at various
hardware stores. It just happens to have a shaft that's long enough to do
the job. I'm pretty sure if you look around, they're not too hard to find.
I have a Vaco set that has screwdrivers with extensions. These won't work
as the extension is too bulky to fit between the back of the RF deck and
the back panel.
Good luck with it.
