I just bought an 1860 Army and did not realize that the screw is there so that the wedge can be partially removed just enough to disengage it from the arbor.

My screw head does not have flats on it.

Presumably you just have to somehow depress the spring on the nose of the wedge and tap it back through?

I've seen youtube videos where the wedge is pushed out with finger force. Not this puppy - gotta tap it with a piece of wood.
It will loosen up after it been removed/installed a few times. Just don't drive it in too deep. A new one should barely be past flush on the off side. No need to depress the spring or remove the screw.
