Dennis,
Search for "flexible shaft screwdriver" on Google or Amazon and you'll have
many options for the screwdriver.

Subject: [rollei_list] Do it yourself Rollei repair advice
Hello listers. I am replacing the rollers and film mask bracket in
a Rolleiflex. It is the bracket and roller that sits just before and just
after the film gate. Yes it is the infamous reflecting roller on one
side... not why I am replacing it.
I have two questions. The first roller at the bottom of the film gate is
very easy to change. One screw in the middle in a slot. The other one is
what I am wondering about. There is no room to get a screw driver in there
to loosen and tighten that one screw. Is there some sort of bend around a
corner screwdriver sort of like a cable release on a camera. I have never
seen such a thing.
The other question I have is that I wonder how that roller is installed in
the bracket and can the roller be exchanged and the
bracket reused. The reason I ask is that I have, or will have, the
black roller and bracket from the GX/FX. I am replacing the bracket from an
FX with an old stock roller and bracket from the F. However it would be a
bonus if I could figure out how to put the black roller into the old stock
bracket. Any idea how I would do that?
thanks
Dennis Purdy
