you can modify an autozone crowbar type compressor to work well. I made a jpg with pics and instructions. pm me with an email address and I'll send it to you

Vinci "VHP" valve spring tool available on web www.vincihiperformance.com Beware of home made lever type tools. They place serious load on the pivot bolt or stud boss and can bend small daimeter valves and crack valve guides.

Dont get me wrong, the KD tool is a great, inexpensive tool for single springs, but i couldnt get it to work on the duals.
