Valve Tool
 

I found that the right cheap push-bike spoke key fits nicely, not sure if it's as good as the proper tool but easily to hand in my shed.

Here is one on ebay

I just bought a 3mm spanner to do mine. It's so small it looks like a childs toy but does the job no problem. Think it's a Draper if I remember right.

Use a pair of pointy nose pliers like I did yesterday and save yourself some cash!:mchappy:

Second that one...

Ted don’t be so tight, a Dutch Traveller we know on an old XT660Z bring me this from EU bought in any Yamaha shop for just few coins. Also possible to make by yourself very easy with an small square file….

A while ago someone(can't remember who) posted a pic of what they used.
It was a common square drive self-tapping screw, probably 2+" long with the shaft bent 90 degrees & some clear plastic tube pushed over the threaded part(to save your fingers).

I use pliers or an adjustable wrench/spanner (dunno the english word for it)

Barbarians.......

cheers, Ben
