I took off the plastic to get at it, and used a 3" extention bar on a ratchet to turn it, worked great for me.

it rotates your crank...so you can adjust each valve for each cylinder at TDC (top dead center)

I did that, you need like 2 or 3 long extensions.

I use a deep socket on the end of one 12" extension,
reaches in there fine...
but the socket always falls off the extension when I pull it back out ~!

ROFL! Removing the wheel makes life MUCH easier! You can get better leverage, instead of using 3-4 extensions and getting black rubber marks on your forearm. LOL!
