That style valve spring compresser, isnt it.
There is a company that makes a perfect tool. Its for honda cylinder head.

To get them off, get a deep socket to the retainer and put a hammer down... The keepers will pop out.
Thats a cheap way to do it.

Then take it to a machine shop, they can put it all back in for around 20 bucks.

I would jusy invest in the correct tool. If u gonna do this more than once
