i rotate that and it will tighten the chain, wont that marginally adjust the pedal position?
Yes, but unless you're super fussy you won't notice. I'm always amused by people who obsess over the odd one or two mm for either biomechanical or aero reasons, since they don't seem to bother to make adjustments during the day to allow for their spines changing in length by a greater amount from morning to evening 🙂
FWIW, I find it easier to grab the BB cups with the HT2 tool rather than trying to get a spanner wrench to work on the eccentric, just make sure you're always turning in the tightening direction i.e. backpedalling, regardless of which side you hold.
