take an old plug wire or rope and stuff it into the spark plug hole turn the engine over by hand so the piston is up and the wire is holding the valve up. take socket 3/4" or 5/8" set it ontop of the valve and hit it with a hammer that will losen the keepers put a bolt in the head that held the rockers with a large washer on top,take two screwdrivers and stick them under the washer and over the valve push down and the keepers will come out,now you can replace your spring with out buying a tool.
