Good Day!
I thought maybe we could consolidate what we know about what tools work & maybe what tools don't, in terms of R/R & adjusting timing.
I stole the following from gmctd's post in the 6.5 Turbo Diesel forum, which caused me to start this topic: "FYI - those recently-new box\open ratcheting gear-wrenches now on the market come in several different flavors, one with a swivel-head capable of several positions to up 90deg perpendicular to either side of the plane of the wrench, for a total of 180deg.
The 15mm size in that version works wonders for adj the Inj Pump - the handle is serrated on the edge indicating the direction of force.
You just flip the handle for on or off action, flip the head to get into tight places - the ratchet action is fine-increment, allowing for close quarter work.
With a little experience, you can loosen, rotate, and lock down the IP within 5 minutes of opening the hood.
Sears has a half-off sale several times a year
Try it - you'll like it................"
If gmctd would be so kind as to help us out, could what he's talking about be this #1 (http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.do?cat=Hand+Tools%2C+General+Purpose&pid=00942481000&vertical=TOOL&subcat=Wrenches&BV_UseBVCookie=Yes) (Click in colored text) or this #2 (http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.do?cat=Hand+Tools%2C+General+Purpose&pid=00947903000&vertical=TOOL&subcat=Wrenches&BV_UseBVCookie=Yes)?
Blessings!
