Yes, either buy or borrow an adjusting tool. Just sticking an allen wrench down in there will tear the piston diaphram. The tool allows you to hold the piston in place while cranking the needle up or down.
They are available through Moss or Victoria British.
Type those company names in your search engine and you'll find thier sites real quick.
Welcome aboard. Hope you find us helpful.
