valve spring removal tool for 'IN CAR' repair Schley Bugpack
Part number:
7011-10
Description:
You have just broken a valve spring in one of your heads on your air cooled vw engine.
OR you want to swap out stock springs for hi performance springs.
You don't want to have to pull the engine and then the head to use your bench assembly tool to do the repair.
This tool enabled you to swap out that broken spring with a new one, with the engine still in the car.
Sure you may have to remove your aftermarket exhaust pipe that passes right by the valve cover, but other than that, it's not that hard.
A trick that Doghouse uses:
bring the piston for those valves/springs affected, up to tdc.
carefully position the tool so as NOT to move the valve when compressing and replacing the broken spring.
with the piston up at tdc, you have no fear of the valve falling into the combustion chamber.
this is a Schley Brothers tool, for air cooled VW's
Worked with single or dual springs.
Previously Sold by Bugpack & other vendors...NOW DISCONTINUED & NOT AVAILABLE ANYWHERE
Pics of a spring swap out job we just had on a sandrail engine.
The #1 ex springs were both broken.
Upon closer examination, we discovered that the inner spring on #1 intake was also broken.
We swapped out all 4 sets of springs in this one head.
The job took 1 hour
