Dan,

The "peg hole and eccentric slot" that is used for adjusting the vertical
alignment doesn't go away by removing the top plate. It still requires the
special tool, unless someone wants to "kludge" something up to work. Not me
though as it is a very specialized adjustment mechanism and is best served
by using the exact tool that the designers intended.
