Nope,
Once you remove the valve cotter circlip, the cotters are easily removed,
though you may need a pair of needle nose pliers or tweezers to grasp them.
Once in a while there may be carbon build-up on a valve stem making the
valve difficult to remove, but it can usually be driven out with a little
pressure.
