I know many of you are experienced here, but just in case. .... DON'T forget the pressurized air in the chamber. Sometimes the keepers and retainers stick. I pop it with an old 17mm or larger socket to loosen it first. Then I use the Tool. Theres a tool that basically looks like short peice of aluminum Bar stock. It has a small cup on one side and a magnet inside. You push (Real hard) and the magnet grabs the keepers. Voila! It comes off. The otherside has a button that holds the keepers in the retainer while you push down (Real Hard) and the keepers pop in place. Extremely simple, and the fasted tool I've ever used. I do MANY valvetrain upgrades on Hondas (Cam over Valve) and this has, BY FAR, Been the best tool. I'm sorry, I'll probably never get a picture of this thing, but that should get you somewhere.
