See if you can find a 7/8 wrench, I believe thats close.
It took me a little filing to fit, just a few mils off each flat. I worked at a place where they had stock in all kinds of hex wrenches but no large metric, so I had to make-do.
If your screen has any gunk in it try some carb cleaner or brake cleaner to dislodge the stuff. Or a shot of compressed air.
