Fender Mustang truss rod adjuster access

Hi.

Can anyone tell me the best way to get access to the truss rod adjuster on a Fender Mustang?
Would there be enough room to adjust it if I took off the scratch-plate?
I can see the top quarter of the screw but I can’t see if there is a routed space in the body that would allow access.

Or, would it just be easier to slacken the strings and take the neck off. Fewer screws I suppose.

I am getting a bit of fret-buzz. Not much but I’d like to get rid of it.
The neck is dead straight.
Am I right in thinking there should be a bit of relief and therefore I should slacken the truss rod off an eighth of a turn or so.

I have done this sort of thing before but never on a Fender.
Only on my Ric, which I believe is a very different animal.

Any info/advice would be appreciated.

Cheers.
