Stuart,

Although it is easier to adjust the switch with the TB removed, it's quite
possible to adjust it in situ.  All you need are long-handled 3mm allen
wrenches and either a good ear or a digitool (really makes the job easier).

One thing to look out for is a warped adjusting plate, which will reset you
adjustment as you tighten the set screw, kinda like a cheap set of points.
