Listers,
This may sound like a rookie question by I need your assistance. I've got a
spare TR4 cylinder head that I want to rebuild and use. I purchased the "C
Type valve lifter & Spring Compressor" from JC Whintey. My problem is, I
can't get the springs to compress in order to remove the spring key. I
think I'm using the tool correctly (jaws over the collar, ratchet
handle/shaft placed against the valve head), but I'm having little success.
When I squeeze the handle, the "C type" portion of the tool must be giving
since the collar and springs aren't compressing. What's the secret?
Thanks in advance.
