Alright, I'm too cheap to buy a valve removal tool to replace my valve seals. What are some ways to do it without damaging anything? Positive feed back only would be appreciated!;)

i useally place a socket ontop of the spring and hit the socket with a hammer and the clips pop right out

its a million times harder to put the clips back in and for that i recommend you buy your self that tool

the hammer and socket works nice to remove them, but going back together is another story. i bought a small engine spring compressor for about $20 and it works fine. you don't need the honda one.
