You can push the adjuster and seal out from the bottom using a
hammer and a suitable drift, preferably brass. I do not recall what
type of car or size carb we are talking about, but the adjusting
screw, seal, and star clip for the ZS-175 (MGB) are available from
VB and Moss at reasonable prices. Considering that you risk
botching up the threads by when removing the screw, having a new
one on hand is cheapinsurance.
Also, the star clip will score the inside of the guide rod if you tap it
all of the way out with a hammer and drift. I would suggest reaching
in with some sort of probe (I used a dentist's pick) to flip it sideways
once you have tapped the clip loose from the bottom of the bore in
the guide rod.
Good luck,
