Should it take that much effort to require a ratchet?
For a Schleicher, the hex key used for the tail works in the holes of the Bralla/MM or Cobra wing alignment tools. Sometimes turning the tool by hand is sufficient.
The dump handle should be in the closed position. From experience, ASW27/G29 is more difficult with the valve handle in the open position. Using excess force with a Schempp dump valve misalignment may end in tears.
