Default spring question?

Just swapped out my stock cam yesterday and I am in process of swapping the springs,. getting the old ones off by compressed air to hold the valves up ,. now I am having issues with those "retainer" or "keys" anyone have any helpfull ideas on putting the new springs back on ?

thanks

Default Re: spring question?

I compress the springs a couple coils from the bottom and tighten them down far enough I can just slide the keepers back in. A little dab of wheel grease can be used to hold them on the stem until you decompress the spring though I never need it.
