Hi guys, going to be changing the stem seals on my vts soon so need to get a valve spring compressor to take the valves out.
Just wondering what compressors you guys use as there's so much choice out there!

Screwdriver and safety goggles :P

That sealey one looks okay to me, that'll do the job no doubt :)

I'd probably end up breaking something :homme:

Think i'll just get the proper tool, was just checking if it is the right size
