jdmb16-i would advise you not to make an attempt at this. You might hurt yourself. I recommend Dover heads. If you go there, see Jesse, tell him Anthony sent you. :goodjob:

do it the joe 6 pack way and get a socket a little smaller than ur retainer, put socket over the retainer and hit socket with a hammer just enough to compress the spring about half way. if u hit too hard u could bend a valve and good luck getting everything back 2gether without the right tool but u asked how to get them off right. lol!
