Hi Guys,
I got one of those cheap winding valve spring compressor tools. Using it to get the collets out was easy, however using it to compress the spring and put the collets back in not so much. I found that as the tool was wound to release the spring, it was not only a slow process but moved the spring around and collets out of position.
I also found the collets really fiddly to put in. One would always drop into position perfectly straight away but the second one was difficult to get lined up and in. I was using a little magnetic screwdriver (wasn’t working very well felt like. I needed a skinny magnetic pick up tool) and a pick to put them in.
In Andre’s demonstration I think he uses the SPC Tools valve spring compressor tool instead of a winding one, this is probably a better tool to be using. Anyway my question is does anyone have any tips on best ways to put these collets in?
thanks for your help
