Re: adjusting valves for 1st time Reply #8 - 10/08/10 at 03:15:24 Some guys have an old front brake pad for a tool to pop that cover, others have found & used other things. Just be very Coool about tightening that plug going back together. Its easy to jam them in there & have a bad time getting them back out.
