Manitou 627 Joystick

[johnflimston]

Forward-reverse switch faulty on manitou joystick, I have new switch but need to split joystick to fit.
Cant see into the holes to see what is needed to remove studs.
Tried Allen keys but no good, also torx but maybe my torx keys dont go small enough.
Does anyone know what they are?

Thanks

Ours was full of dry joints, we have a new one on the shelf but the old repaired one hasn't failed again.
