Stop your bickering Children! I've seen both Allen Head screws and Tri Square crews and combinations of both. If you've got one screw out, take it to the parts store and match it up with the tool you need. Clean the dirt and crud out of the socket with a narrow blade screwdriver, drive the Tri=Square / Allen with a 10" x 3/8" extension and give it a test turn. If it pops out or doesn't seat into the socket just get your drill out, it will save time in the long run. I know that you East Coast fellows have a harder time with this procedure than us in the rust free zone West of the Mississippi. So when you get them all put back take a finger full of heavy grease and pack it into the socket heads to thwart off rust. If the grease in the transmission ends comes out very fluid check for leaking plugs on the transmission flanges.
