    Default 4age valve spring removal

    What is the best way to compress the valve springs on a 4ag 16v?

    just replacing steam seals so dont wanna take the head off.

    is there a tool that works well? coz the valve spring compressors that i got dont work for these engines.

    Any help
    thanks
