to only take off the springs and retainers.. i use a socket and a hammer..

you take like a 19mm socket.. put it on the retainer.. and hit it it will compress the spring to fast.. .that the Keepers just fall out.. and then.. BINGO .. you got your spring and valve out and off...

but good look puting them back on.. WITHOUT the tool..

 

Anyone with a craftsman one from sears? Any reviews on it would be helpful.

 

You need an driver piece from goodson.com to use the C-clamp spring compressor from Sears. Without the driver, the compressor doesn't work on deep-skirted heads. It's much easier for one person to use with the head off the block than the overhead compressor.

 

You need one of these: http://www.thetoolwarehouse.net/shop/SP-91400.html
Just like the Snap-On one, just cheaper.

yeah that's what I've used to remove and install the valve springs on my ol' b18a engine. just use compress air to keep the valves up.
