Has anyone swapped out the scale coupler for the OGauge coupler on the Vision Line BB?  I can't figure out how to get to the coupler screw.  It's blocked by grill on the bottom of the pilot.  I removed the front truck hoping that it would give me a way to get to the screw but no joy.  I'm pretty loath to start disassembling anything else (where's Alex when you need him?).  Any help would be appreciated.

 

Here's a Pic with the truck removed.  In the 1st pic it looks like you can get to the screw but it's the angle of the picture.

Thanks Alex.  I really wanted to get to it without having to use a screwdriver at an angle.  I was afraid to strip the screw.

 

We found out how.   You have to remove the two screws below the front of the front truck. This allows you to flip the engine over and move the front platform with the radiators back a little bit.  There are two screws under the platform that when removed allow you to remove the pilot and get access to the coupler screw.  See the below Pics
