Very nice, I just only would like to see more details of the homemade tool. Thanks for share this video.

The "tool" was made with a couple things I had laying around. I used a 1/2" black pipe coupling and a 1/2" black pipe nipple...same stuff used for the gas pipe on homes. I threaded them together then cut the coupling down and started cutting the nipple till it fit. I used a 4" angle grinder with a cutting disk

There's a way qucker way to do this.

Ball up a sock and set the head on top of it, then use a hammer and socket to pop the collets. Use a socket close to the outter diameter of the keeper washer.

How do you get them back in?

Did you know you can just press down on the top of the valve spring with an open end wrench and remove the keepers with a pencil magnet.

i use a tool used to turn off your water. like for your house. and then have someone with a magnet. it works pretty good if you have 2 people. works good on honda engines. not so good on big blocks lol.

Using the tool you have there. Ive seen a few trick homemade lever clamps used for this too- but it has to be jigged up proper. Learned that trick from an aircraft mechanic cutting time off his flat rates.
