Trusty flat head and a hammer. Allen key loosened first. Use some lube too.

You don't use a wrench on ground controls. There is an allen bolt that you loosen and then adjust with your barehands then tighten when you're done.

Soak it in wd40 and turn the allen key as hard as you can. Once you get the bolt out, soak the threads with wd40 as well so it doesn't seize up again.
