I had another try at shifting the valve this weekend but still no joy.  A 15mm spanner or socket will not fit it or the new replacement and a 16mm is far too large for either as is a 5/8 AF.  I tried an adjustable spanner but that just spun and started to round off the already minimal form on the flimsy ally fitting.  Did not dare to try the mole grips due to rather limited space and fear of sheering the whole thing off.  Anyone got any bright ideas what to try now?

mole grip is the way to go - lock it on with the handle as close to the cam belt cover as poss and gently pull......

Must be a different sized 15mm socket than my 15mm socket
