Using Valve Spring compressor...

I've attached some pictures that I took last night, to give you guys a feel for what I am trying to do.

Personally I feel that the tool that I have is too big for the job at hand...the upper part of the compressor doesn't even touch the top part of the spring.

Or maybe I'm just doing something wrong.

Notice that the top part of the Vlave Spring Comp. doesn't even grip the top of the spring---perhaps its too big?


Another shot


I don't know if this is how the compressor is supposed to look...the hooks seem to be on a slant..Is it broken? Or is that how its supposed to looks?

Ya man, if it can't grip the retainer, I don't think it's much good to you. No worky....
