When i am looking at the retainer and im about to whack it to loosen it, will the valve keeps come out and the spring come flying at my eyeball right away.

What is the easiest and safest way to remove the keepers and retainers.

get a valve spring compresser. thats the easiest, safest, and more logically way of taking it off. good luck

ninja If you are going to post crap like that, at least give the link to what you are talking about.

I have a valve spring compressor. I thought they were designed to be used without the retainer. How am i supposed to grab the keepers with the compressor on it

H9Omega

let them drop and use a magnet.just make sure u have all ur oil passages blocked off.

drumminforev

I have them blocked off. ANd no, im not going to just let them drop. how stupid would that be. I already have compressed air available and spark plug adapter. i just need an answer....

WILL THE SPRING come flying off as soon as i hit the retainer with a mallet?

H9Omega

your an idiot period. yes i hope they do fly off and hit you directly in your eye and make you lose all possible vision. geez. go buy a valve spring compressor from autozone. now think about it.. how will you put back on your retainers and springs without the proper tools. go read a book or something.

to answer your question....you can hit it with a mallet and nothing will happen....the valve will just open a little bit and close immediately.

To loosen hit the retainer, then use the removal tool....after you replace the valve spring, and retainer tap on the end of the valve stem to ensure that the keepers are seated properly.

well the autozone valve spring tool absolutely sucks my *****, so now im set back AGAIN. anyone know of a local store that would sell one that works on hondas

Use masking tape and a magnet when compressing. And dont drop a valve.
