Time for me to roll up my sleeves and do my VSS. I talked to Kevin (MyKiss69) and he was 99% sure that therew was not enough clearance to remove the spring without removing the camshaft even if you could compress the spring. The good news is that I may have figured out an easy way to remove the camshaft.

Has anyone tried to use either of these tools?
