How hard are double springs to install?

Im doing a cam in the next couple of months. The cam I choose will most likely require the dual valve springs. I have a buddy that has put in singles before but is worried that the doubles will be harder. Any info?

Yeah, same as the singles, except...I used a tool like shown below to remove the single stock springs, but it didn't work on the Patriot duals. So I made a Larry-style tool and it worked great.

JRP you mean LOGIC right?? Logistics means the moving and control of equipment.

If you don't mind me asking what is a "Larry Tool"? And if it truelly makes it easier where do I get one from?

With the right tool duals aren't any harder, my bud and I on here (BLKWS6) have installed over 20 cams & springs and we use the more tool on some springs and the Larry's tool on others,its to the point we can do cam/springs in 4-4.5 hrs now without breaking a sweat.
