If you do not have the exact size open end to fit on the valve
get a channel lock or some adjustable wrench and have someone hold the valve
while you break loose the nut and lock nut.

It takes very, very little turning of the adjusting nut to create loose to tight
gaps between the lobe and adjusting nut.

Once the valve and lock nut/adjust nut are loosened you should never have trouble
again.
Once I got my too tight valves loose now adjustments are quite easy.
Did you try the channel locks? maybe with a sexy attendant holding your tool.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
