Just take it to a mechanic who has a feeler gauge. I got mine checked at 80,000km and they were spot on.Originally posted by DC2RKID View Post

mate, i never use a special tool, just a 10mm socket on a medium extension... not too hard.
try a 10mm deep socket with vice grips even...... retired/Comment

intresting...might even be worth makin up my won tool for it eyComment

I did mine the other day - It's not hard with a 10mm deep socket, I just found that I'd have to tighten and re-check a few times to make sure the adjuster screw didn't tighten with the nut.
After I got the hang of it, it was all good. I used 0.18 for intake and 0.2 for exhaust. A few were a bit tight from my previous attempt, causing a random misfire.

I use a ring spanner that we cut off and re-welded at a better angle. Has worked for years and you can get a screw driver in there. Totally ghetto too
