Have done the rope trick before with a special lever tool on the old mini's.

Bryanj:
That would hold the valve shut but i dont think you will get a tool to compress the springs and get the collets out

TonUp:
overhead valve compressor ... [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

;) yes it does work but its so long ago i cant recall what bike i done it on , not as easy as it sounds, can get a bit a nightmare popping the collets back in, ok if you doing one or two valves, but not the full head it gets a bit of a headache patience is the answer really .
