Is that just for stock spring and what about dual springs?

I just did mine with an air deal, so I'm a yuppie.
to get the stock springs, put a 17mm socket on the retainer, with a little extention coming out the back, and hit it with a hammer....super duper easy....works everytime

as far as the keepers not sitting right, well thats on you...you mess up and its a new game called "find the keepers" :P

dual valve springs, I have no idea, i dont have all the answers, my situation called for a spring to be put into a head, so i used my head and got it in there....

putting in 1 valve spring stuck on the side of the road

works fine if you keep your vice in your car- even better if its welded to the firewall for easy access.
