you can bump it over using the starter at this terminal. Just jump a wire or a hand held starter switch from one of the large screws to one of the small screws.

Thanks for the tip. Got it done with a 27mm however.

I found using a 22 mm combination wrench to turn the power steering pump and thence the engine to be the easiest way to do this when adjusting the valves.

"I found using a 22 mm combination wrench to turn the power steering pump and thence the engine "

A very bad idea... and there are lots of theads which have the discussion about this...

1. The MB Factory Shop manual SPECIFICALLY SAYS NOT TO DO THAT !!
2. The reason it the shaft on the power steering pump is a taper.. so that excess tightening forces that junction together...

Use the crank bolt if you are smart... the rest of you.... I hope you don't ever have to take that pulley off to service the power steering pump....
I helped TCane when the PO had done that... not fun... and you risk damaging the pump in the process....

Greg...An impact wrench is a great "equalizer"

LOL, Stevo, it is not the nut... but the tapered hole pulley which is the problem once it has been TORQUED down too much...
Two of us with a big vise and heating it with oxy-acet and took three heats and lots of heavy hitting...
A true Interference fit once you Crank ( pun ) it down...

Greg..I have pulled a couple p/s pump pulleys where the nut was regularly used to turn the engine, They came off the shaft, quite easy. so I remain unconvinced of the hazzerds of using the p/s pump nut Using the crank nut is a real pain IMO

...recommended by Dieselgiant. See the following site:

http://dieselgiant.com/valveadjustment.htm

It seemed to work fine for me. Granted, Dieselgaint's website is not the MB Factory Shop manual, but he seems to have a lot of "pull" around here. Apparently, though, there is disagreement regarding his pull with pulleys....

Maybe my belt is not tight enough, but I tried using the PS pully and it just slipped at the crank. After a bit, I got the right amount to turn the crank with the 27mm down pat. Only have to do it once a year.
