 Got the kids 7A-FE engine camshafts removed for the valve seal replacement. Bought new seals, etc also bought a universal valve spring compressor to be able to take out the keepers. Removed the lifters and shims then dicovered that the tool would not work due to the valve springs being in a recessed pocket. So off to the internet to find a suitable tool for this job. For those of you that have done this job yourself what tooling did you use to remove the valve spring keepers? Can you post a part number or pic of the tool you used? |

Removal can be done with a socket and a well placed tap with a hammer but that won't do you any good if you want to put them back in.
