ls valve spring removal?

Re: ls valve spring removal?
ive use this tool from mac every time.
it works wonders
but to remove the spring just use a 12mm Harbor Freight socket and a hammer.
put the socket on the retainer and hit the socket with the hammer and poof the keepers come out.
oh and its a good idea to put a rag in the combustion chamber

maybe its just me, i dont see how that would work...or was it a joke

Re: ls valve spring removal?
have you ever done that? Seems like it would be a nightmare. If you cut a decent access window in the socket, it seems that it might put uneven pressure on the retainer. If you cut a tiny "window", it would be hellish putting the keepers back in. Im not totally knocking you, just wondering if you used that method with success. The only time I've done valvesprings was with a store-bought tool and it took two tries to find one that worked properly, and even then it took a little work with the grinder to make it fit/work with the springs we were changing.
To the OP: what type of compressor are you using?
