- Mon Dec 27, 2010 5:34 pm #230047 Using a value spring compressor, compress the value spring, carefully turn the head over and the retainers will fall out.
Yes, gravity works...

If is a fight to remove and even more fun to get them back in without a value spring compressor. About $20 at Harbor Freight.
