If the huge (30mm I think) flat nut on the valve spring is turning when you're loosening the lock nut (bottom nut if you're doing it factory way) you're not actually accomplishing anything. You'll need to find a way to keep it from turning while you make your adjustments.
That sounds like an overwhelming recommendation for the Hazet wrench set.
