Valve spring compressor
USING THIS TOOL MAKES THE JOB SO SIMPLE. OTHER VALVE SPRING COMPRESSORS WILL JUST NOT FIT CORRECTLY. THIS TOOL IS ALMOST THE SAME AS THE ORIGINAL TYPE TOOL ISSUED BY CITROEN.
BEST USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH CIT2CV042 TO HOLD THE CYLINDER HEAD STEADY AND SECURELY AND ALSO TO KEEP THE VALVES UP TO THEIR SEATS, PREVENTING VALVE STEM MOVEMENT WHEN DISMANTLING THE COLLETS + CIT2CV037 THE SPECIAL SOCKET FOR THE FLAT SIDED ROCKER ARM SHAFT SECURING SCREWS.
METHOD:-
TAKE THE ROCKER SHAFT OFF AND TAKE OFF ALL THE PARTS.
RE-SECURE THE ROCKER SHAFT WITH FLAT SIDED SCREW AND SPECIAL CYLINDER HEAD STAND AND NUT.
ALWAYS LOOSEN COLLETS WITH A HAMMER BLOW TO THE STEM END.
AS YOU LEVER THE VALVE SPRING DOWN, ANOTHER HIT ONTO THE TOOL MAYBE NECESSARY TO TOTALLY FREE THE COLLETS. THE VALVE STEM WILL NOT GO DOWN, AS THE LONG BOLT ON THE STAND IS HOLDING THE VALVES UP INTO POSITION.
USE A THIN MAGNETIC SCREWDRIVER TO TAKE OUT THE COLLETS.
