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.

Is it too hard? What kind of valve spring compressor did you get? I need to change the springs and retainers on my motor.
