| | | how to remove valves
Hi there, how do you remove the valves from the head. Do you need to compress the spring or something??

i havn't got the correct tools to do it but this is how i get em out.
strip head, rockers & cam out -
then i get a ring spaner and put it thru the rocker cover onto the top of the spring. I get a small socket and put it on the ground and put the head ontop. The socket holds the valve shut. then with a moan and shove i leaver the valve open/depress spring and remove collets. I can get it first or second try but first time took about half an hour of moans and yells to get them otu.
Might be an idea to put a old t-shirt over the head while your doing it only leaving a large enough gap to see what your doing. The collets tend to launch out of there sometimes if your spanner slips.
If you need more info i'll go take some photos soonish

ohh tru, its just hard to get them in there with little space, and I guess it needs to fit tightly against the spring.

pretty much the exact same way, I put a short socket to hold the valves shut, and pushed down on the springs using the wrench, and used a magnet to take out the two small pieces, requires a lot of force to push down
