Most aggravating is removal and reinstalling of cam cover, aka. valve cover. Take photos of linkage. I use a remote bump starter to rotate engine. Inexpesive and one handed. Hook up to two of the three wired screws on relay in engine bay. (on a 123, front most and rear most) Suggest new gasket,
you don't know where it's been, however, not neccessary. With helper, very easy. Said helper will slide feeler in and out while you make adjustments, which will change when tightening lock nut. Special wrenches are not required (available from above site or elsewhere) yet... Otherwise, you'll need two 14mm open end, one shortened to accomodate the other. Keep us posted.
