Valve Spring removal?

How the heck do you get them out?? I have the head off and i can’t get a valve spring compressor that can fit in the to get at them :argh: Anybody have any suggestions? I would love to hear them!!

thanks:up:

nobody had done this?

you just have to find the valve spring compressor that fits

Get a valve spring compressor that looks something like this and a 19mm deep impact wrench socket.

Then cut a slot into the 19mm socket that looks something like this and use a bolt with a nut and washer to secure it to the valve spring compressor.

Works great. I’ve done several valve spring installs.

or you can get a socket and just give it a good swift tap on the retainer until the keepers pop off, but mind you putting them back on manually is a PITA
