I had the same problem bought a compressor from Autozone that screws in from the topand had longer extensions on the arms and that just barely worked. Do a search for the Larry tool. I just e-mailed him about buying one but he needs 20 orders to have them made. I will definitely use his tool next time! will make spring changes a snap.

I just put a set of Comp921 dual springs using the More valve spring tool and it was a piece of cake. No problems whatsoever, even getting to the back set of springs.

The More tool is available from several of the sponsors.
