Need to do a total tear down of my L head engine which is a LEV115-3600033D model and I am wondering if there is a way to pull the valve spring retainers off with out having to use the "Valve spring compressor" tool that no one seems to have. I was thinking of maybe compressing the spring with a flat blade screw driver and grabbing the spring keeper with a small pair of needle nose pliers. Does anyone think that will work or do I need to beg borrow or steal a spring compressor tool?
