So this isn't a concern?

zero issues with you then... you can't lug it. Push that pump 1/8" past the timing mark and enjoy. You'll have to make a bent 13mm wrench, but I was able to do it with a propane torch and 2 channel lock pliers since I didn't have a vise at the time.... not much to say for craftsman

Or a local Harbor freight for $10 will get you a whole set of S wrenches. A select few auto parts stores also carry S wrenches.
