Valve Adjustment tools 240D?
Are the special bent wrenches necessary an a 240D? All the threads mention that it's hard to get to #5 cylinder. My 240 is like all the others, only goes to #4

You can get by with ordinary wrenches. The job is a lot easier with the bent wrenches.

Its way easier with the Hazet 3 piece set. Look on E-bay they can be had for under $60 new. If you are a masocist use regular 14mm Thin wrenches,

The third wrench is a valve spring retainer. It simly goes on the valve spring to keep it from rotating when your adjusting the valves.

I have used both the Hazet set and 14 mm wrenches
While I found it relatively easy to use the straight 14 mm wrenches(only two) the new Hazet set I just acquired are a dream come true. Spend the money on the correct wrenches. You will be glad you did.
