Valve Adjustment - Page 2

Spray some Kroil - PB Blaster - Rust Buster - Liquid Wrench, etc. around the edge of the plug and tap the plug lightly with a hammer. If the washer fits the slot tightly it's probably your best bet. Use pliers to get more leverage. Tapping the washer while you try to turn it may also help. Repeat all steps as necessary.

The best tool I've ever found for this is a US Silver Eagle. It fits perfectly. Put a piece of cloth
over it, and turn it using a pair of pliers.
