I made one out of brake tubing and a speedometer cable. Make a 90 deg. bend in the tubing, put the cable through, now shape the end of a 1/2" piece of tubing to fit on the D head of the adjusting screw. Then just crimp the piece on the end of the cable, I crimped another piece on the other end so I could turn it easier. Works great, if I think of it I'll take a pic tomorrow. Only cost about 2.00 to make.

i think the blue one is more versatile - motion pro sells it too (might be their brand) - come with all kind of bits to fit slotted, d-type and philips and works as a screwdriver for hard to reach places. Its still a pain in the *** to get at, but it works. The home-made kind that VTRumble made up would work too if you are as resourceful. Its not a common adjustment, so you could also just borrow one unless you plan to do a lot of this

all good stuff thanks. if there was only one choice in what to do the decision would be simple i think i'll e-mail and see they go for. havent been able to find anything on an official honda tool like the manual states.
