Talking Hydra-rev kit reinstalled

What a pain in the *** it is to reinstall the AFR hydra-rev springs without pulling the heads. Everyone here seems to prefer the AFR tool, but my buddy Mark and I managed without it.

Tools we used included:
$2 tube bending tool with flat surface
small 3" long open-end wrench
medium C-clamp
rubber mallet
file
bloody rags
pain killer
12-pack


Maybe not as easy as using the tool, but we managed. The only two that gave us any real trouble were the first and last on the driver side - the exhaust valves for #1 and #7. Hard enough as it was, I can't imagine how you 4th gen folks manage it with the dash leaning out over the engine.

I'll have to fix my sig now too. No longer a big hp grind. It will be once I get a blower, but that will be a while yet.
