Small tip if your doing valves. When you get the compressor down so the collets are free, use a telescopic magnet as sold on Ebay to just suck them out. Saves them flying off and dropping down the valve springs if you try and flick them out with a small screwdriver. Then when you've removed the compressor and the valve and it's springs, use the magnet again to remove the 2 washers hiding under the springs, they tend to glue themselves in place with the oil suction. A lot of people miss these and then they drop out when your least expecting them to.

Something like this.

Also very handy for finding nuts/screws that fly off and land on the floor, just sweep this around and they'll stick to it as it passes over. These are a god send, can remove bolts etc that have fallen down the cam tunnel for instance.

What's different about a 750 clutch nut compared to a 550?
