My solution was similar to Karl's.  I took an allen wrench and used a
grinder to shorten the short end to about a quarter of an inch.  I could fit
this on to the loose screws without removing the pin.  It was slow and
tedious but got the job done in a relatively short amount of time.

 My solution to this, years ago, was to take an old cheapo mini-wrench, like
5mm or 6 mm, (you know, like the ones you buy a full set of for 2.99) and
weld a short section of 4mm allen wrench in the end of the wrench at 90
degrees.  Tuck this in the tight spot to tighten the ridiculously
inaccessible screws.
