Fettling with bonnet catch/pin

I have a civillian model 109 and having trouble adjusting the
bonnet catch and pin.
What is the best way to adjust this? It looks like you can turn
the pin with a big screwdriver, however this wont move even
after extensive wd40.
Stupid question i know, but the bonnet constantly flapping
around annoys me.
Thanks
Ruud

There is also a nut in the shaft above the spring. Not easy to
get to, but can make adjustment easier.
