compressed air into cylinder through spark plug hole. and snap on sells a valve spring compressor that threads into where the cam cap bolts go in. thats hpw i did mine at least.. btw a magnet will be a good idea to catch those keepers.

either that^^^^ or you could get a long 1/4 thick rope and push it down the spark plug hole.

thats how my friend did his, and it worked out ok.
