Jerry:

1/16" allen wrench is too large for the screw.   Metric 1.3mm, or 
American .050" will do the trick, however, be sure you get a good 
quality allen wrench.  The cheap import stuff, such as Harbor 
Freight, etc., will sometimes round off the corners of the wrench and 
spin inside the set screw.  Don't ask me how I know this...  hi...
