The tool to depress the cam followers is very nice to have.  Is there another
way? Probably.  Is the proper tool worth the money? I think so.  To remove the
adjusting discs, you can probably just carefully pry them out with a
screwdriver.   I bought both tools.  I like tools :)  I figure the money saved
doing the work myself pays for the specialty tools.

I finally did a valve adjustment a few months ago.  This page might be of help:

HTH!
