7. Select the 7/8 in. diameter long compressor
attachment, and fasten the attachment to the No. 5
hole of the lever arm with the speed pin supplied.
8. Insert an air adaptor into the spark plug hole. Pump
air into the cylinder to keep the valve closed while
compressing the springs and removing the valve
keepers.
9. Put shop towels over the oil passages (A) to
prevent the valve keepers from falling into the
cylinder head.
10. Position the lever arm under the cross shaft so the
lever is perpendicular to the shaft and the
compressor attachment rests on top of the retainer
for the spring being compressed. Use the front
position slot on the lever as shown.
