The grub screw is quite deep in the collar and I have to use the long leg of the key which is quite flexible as the key is only 2.5mm. As I try to turn it I can feel the twist in the key. I have also tried tapping the key while applying torque but to no avail. Methinks this unit was put together by a butcher of the non-meat variety.
I would have preferred to leave the unit alone except it is quite noisy and has started stalling while slewing. Hence the decision to work on it.

UPDATE: A drop of Penetrene, a sustained twist and bingo!
As suspected, very little grease on the cone bearing. Will continue on it tomorrow.
