Looking at the head there is a Allen headed cap opposite the pin. I have a spare head somewhere in the depths of the shed so will take some pics.

You won't get it out easily to replace seal, they normally leak if you lda grind is too severe causing the pin to come past the o ring / seal

Just to follow this up, it looks like it can't be done on the engine or to be honest by anyone without the correct tools. I've mopped the oil out of the cylinder and turned the LDA pin round to a standard slope. Will check it in a week to see if its helped.
