You don't actually need a tool to remove them. Just pull them out with your fingers.

is it possible for the cam lobe to be in the way, when trying to remove the lifters if so how do i get it to move? Also do i need a special tool to decompress the spring to be able to remove the lifters?

You turn the cam to get the lobes out of the way.. your rockers should already be off.. and just.. yeah..

There's methods where you pry the rockers off and back on. I don't like all that prying so I just pull the cams.
