Vale spring compressor - recommendations

(1/3) > >>

andy120t:
Does anyone have a valve spring compressor that they would recommend (for use on a CB engine)? I'm not quite sure what I'm looking for but I've seen a model by Sealey for c.

I've got the same set, never used it on a CB but it was adjustable enough to use on both a z50 and a 3.0L Essex v6.

Cheers all. Last night I used the weight arm from an old set of scales (think the giant ones used to weght sacks of corn), pivoting in the vice and pressing down on a piece of steel tube - with slots cut in it to allow me reach the collets.

Good advice on the magnetic tools / grease. I was wondering how easy they could be to get back in.

Dave M:
The grease and screwdriver works fine on a C50 too!
