There is a very easy way to do this. Buy a small flathead bit from Home Depot or Lowes. These are the bits made to put into a screwdriver handle with interchangeable bits so the one handle can be flathead, phillips, allen, etc. The bit costs less than a dollar. Slide this into the hole on the underside of the handle, you will see the hole it goes into. Twist it by hand until it lifts into the slot. Then hold it up with one finger, and with the other hand, use a small wrench to turn it. My bits require a 1/4" wrench. Works like a charm. Much easier than using the bent screwdriver approach, because you don't need to reseat the bit with every turn.
