5.0 out of 5 stars Worked Perfectly
I used this to remove springs on and OHV V6 and it worked perfectly. This was the easiest part of a maticulous head gasket/valve job.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worked Perfectly, November 24, 2011
This review is from: Danaher Tool Group KDS3271 Universal Overhead Valve Spring Compressor (Misc.)
I used this to remove springs on and OHV V6 and it worked perfectly. This was the easiest part of a maticulous head gasket/valve job. With my latex gloves slick with assembly lube, it wasn't the easiest to turn to compress the springs for re-installation. Had no issues at all removing them. I draped a clean rag over the handle to turn it to compress the springs for the re-installation. Applying some lube to the forcing screw made it function a little smoother. I would recommend you give this tool a try. I'm also going to try a few other designs and see if they work any better. Overall I'm satisfied with this tool though.
