I use a large socket just smaller than the lifter bore. Wrap electrical tape
aroung it so it will not mar the bore. With the C type compressor I can
compress the
springs. Then I use a magnet tipped screwdriver to install and remove the
keepers
thru the end of the socket the wrench goes into.
Hope this helps
