I believe it is an 11 or 13mm wrench.  Had to do it last weekend. :)  
Also of some help is terminators on any unused jack.  RS sell packs of
2 for ~1.50. And then try a signal amplifier.

These suggests are for a week signal, which will cause the problem you
are describing and can be easily checked by plugging the cable
straight into the TV.  Someone else suggested adding a tuner type to
your modprob.conf, which it could also be.
