While simple in principal, the tool techniques might prove challenging. Depending on the condition of the things. And some problem solving might be required.
Ideally, it shouldn't be hard. But if the machine screws holding the top of the carb are difficult to remove, then you'll probably have to remove the carb from the bike, which is a bit interesting. Then be faced with the challenge of stuck screws. Getting the needle out is no trouble, getting it back in might be less easy.
We used to do this type of thing all the time for cars and faced similar troubles. I don't know that motorcycle shops do it. One would think so, given how lean many bikes run.
