How to remove valves, Made Easy

Hi all, made up this little tool to remove the valves, keeps your hands free to
try and get the collets in place, job done in seconds.

Remove rocker pin and rocker, (retain rocker pin as you will need it)



slide tool over valve and slide rocker pin back in to its hole and through
the valve tool,



Tighten down on the thumb turn and it pushes the valve spring down,
leaving both hands free to catch collets,

Top job. I use a welding clamp and socket with a window cut out of it. Yours is neater but mine leaves two hands free too.

Re: How to remove valves, Made Easy

you could make them, list them on gumtree or ebay and link to the advert. It's only direct selling which isn't allowed.
