hm thanks a lot for searching for me mahjik i had come up with much less than that. but i dont think anyone really answered his question in the thread :/

update: ive got one screw off, the other one is proving a bit more difficult to reach but i talked to the guy at my hardware store he says he'll bring something in tomorrow thatll help me out. once ive finished the replacement ill post an answer to my own question.

I used a philips tool from a socket driver set, then used a small boxed end wrench on the philips tool. This was the only way I could apply enough force pushing in on the philips bit while turning.
