I bought one of Tims tools a couple of years ago and have used it many times .. it is not hard to do the cylinders back under the cowl ..

dub.ya.es.SICK ,

This tool was specifically designed to get at the springs in the back since room is not plentyful back there. Our tool works great and on your scale on getting the back springs done I would rate it a 8.5 to 9. As for how long it take, it always depends on each person but it take usually 1.5 hours to do a complete swap on the average. You may be able to do it faster but I cannot stress enough to TAKE YOUR TIME !!!! Who really cares how fast you swapped your springs, the main thing is that you did a good job and did not screw anything up and not just make more work for yourself. Hope this helps, and if you have any other questions feel free to send me a PM and we can go from there.

Thanks,
Tim

Air Holding Kit

Sorry, I don't have any pictures of the air tool. It consists of a narrow hose with what looks like a spark plug base on one end. A quick release air fitting to plug into your air hose is on the other end. The hose is stiff enough to place the adapter in the spark plug hole and screw it in by rotating the air fitting end. It makes spring changes real fast and easy and is well worth the extra $20. John

I recieved and used your valve spring tool this past weekend... which gave me more

time...
it was amazingly easy and worth every penny...

I recieved this tool two days after ordering it, which is awesome...

thank you very much...
