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.
