ohiojosh78 can only hope to improve
basically all you need is a 10mm socket and a feeler gauge. Before you start jack up the front of your car so your passengers side front tire is off the ground and then you can advance your engine by manuallly spinning that wheel with the car in 4th (yes 4th) gear.
