The special tool is a 'Ringdriver No 5' - like a screwdriver but with a 'pin' that sticks out from centre of the blade to locate in the screwhole in the special screw used to hold the bellset into the base of the telephone.

A No 2 is a bit narrow, a No 3 or 6 with a wider blade would be better. But a doubt Angela knows what we are going on about - a wide blade screwdriver should undo the screws no problem
