I actually tried doing that several times and didn't have any luck. My hypothesis is that one of the pins from the actuator got off the track in the lever. I couldn't quite get the rear one to seat in the track, but figured it didn't matter since I was planning on taking it to the shop anyways...

Replying in case anybody in the future happens across this post. Unfortunately I won't be any help. I tried a flexible shaft angle extension as suggested by AuSeeker but I couldn't get the bit seated in the screw head well enough that I trusted it not to strip so I decided not to try it. I...
