Wanting to check the valve clearance.

Have WSM and Illustrated Parts List.

Bonnet and side panels off; radiator out being cleaned; fuel tank drained; bolts holding tank out and the tank is loose.

The tank seems to have flanges holding it between the support for the rear bonnet. Support shown on page 132 of IPL, section L13001. Before I undo this support to get tank out of the way - what's the normal way to get access to the valve settings and glow plugs?

Thanks in advance for useful advice!
