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.

alright I got them off, thanks for your help

just so everyone knows did you do it my round-about-way or did you figure a better way of doing it with out the proper tools.

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

Have fun trying to get them back in it may take awhile. You mite need someone to give you some help to get them back in. It can be alot of fun.
