Any one out there who can give me particulars on a GOOD Valve spring removal/installer tool  for a Subaru Brumby ea71/81, I seem have problems getting one that works properly with the inner and outer springs. Ive been using a half inch socket and hitting it with a big  lump hammer, works a treat for removal BUT installing will be another matter.

One of these usually does the job for me. A bit fiddly setting it up and getting the right angle for it to work best on, otherwise it’s the first thing I go for!

On special at the moment too by the look of it. Just make sure it’s big enough to put the head inside the “G” bit to clamp either end of the valve setup. The pic doesn’t give an idea of size however it’s the exact design of the one I steal from my dad when I need it.
