    We recently purchased a Sakurai Oliver 4 color press and we're setting the form rollers. We are having extreme difficulty getting to the #2 and #3 forms to set them to the oscillator/drive roller. Is there a special tool or technique that can facilitate loosening and tightening the lock screw?

    So you come down from the top with the t-handle?

    The manual simply gives the stripe width. We had to figure out how to make the adjustment. The bearing rests in a collar that's eccentric and is held in place by a bolt in the frame. 1 and 4 are relatively accessible but 2 and 3 are almost inaccessible. I'll have to see if I can get a t handle from the top. I'm not sure that there's enough space between the bolt and the frame to get a closed wrench on it.
