Sorry I was a bit brief.

There is no under screw for this model. The is a hex screw on the head arm itself. I have used a hex driver for these heads before, but this particular model seems to be a different size.

I think he is trying to say there is no screw.

Can you post a pic? Maybe I am wrong.

On the pivot screw. It's a hex.

No, you just have to lift the head stack.

Oh yes! I was applying a poor technique. Came straight out now. Thanks for the advise.
