I need to remove the flicker board in the Bachmann three truck shay.

What is the easiest way to get to the two screws that hold the board to the loco, These are the two that go through the board with the heads facing the front of the loco, Do you use a lonnnnnnnng screwdriver inserted through the smoke-box after removing the front of the smoke-box and sliding out the smoke generator, or is there more stuff that has to be removed? Or, is there an easier way I'm not seeing from the exploded diagram?

(I'm praying that I don't have to disassemble the whole loco.)

(In case you are wondering,.. I have to reverse the diodes to get them to work.)
