Think of it this way... you could probably swap brake pads without taking the wheels off, but why would you want to?

Already removed valve cover as per earlier post. I am pretty much resigned to removing the cams but would still like to find a screw type spring compressor instead of arm wrestling with a lever. (If I can save 10 minutes per valve with a better tool I save 4 hours on the job and a lot of frustration.)
