Valve Spring removal......help
ok, so now im starting to get frustrated cuz i can't find the right size spring removal tool to get them springs off.............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
engine builders, wut brand do you use to remove your valve springs? i tried every one from NAPA but it's either too big or too small....wtf!!???!
or do you know if Mitsu sells a valve spring removal tool specific to our cars? i've seen the manual and that damn tool they use but do they sell it for the public? or do you suggest/use another tool/ brand that you use?

Take it to a machine shop. They will handle it. Its not like you are going to hot tank, deck and do a 3 angle valve job on your kitchen table.
There is no need for you to take it apart.

While you can replace the valve springs at home, spending a few $$ to make sure everything is reassembled correctly is probably a good move. Otherwise with really stiff springs it's possible to mess up re-seating one of the keepers and end up with expensive complications. At least that was my experience with the Ferrea dual coil springs.
I also use the Snap-On universal tool. They work good. You can also get one from Mitsu. Expect it to be special ordered though. So if your in a hurry to do it just hit up a Snap-On truck. Good luck.
