When the valve is loose - same procedure but turn the top nut clockwise.
There are a couple valves that its really hard to get the channel locks to - but you can figure it out with a little patience.

I would be very careful when doing this.
I would not do this.
I would not recommend that anybody tries this particularly if they are not a competent mechanic.
I can not prove this but I guess that some clumsy idiot bust a valve guide in my OM617 head by being too rough - probably using normal unbent 14mm spanners.
OM617 manifold oil = broken valve guide
If you break a valve guide you could be in for an expensive time repairing your mistake.
Here's the horror picture:-
USE BENT SPANNERS!
